Add accept-ranges-Header to .htaccess

Hi there!

I am making heavy use of link prefetching on one of my websites. In the article about prefetching on MDN they mention, that, if the response header contains Accept-Ranges: bytes, a partially loaded resource can be re-used from the browser cache.

Could you add this header the wp-content/cache/.htaccess file (the one being in use for “expert” mode), like this?
```
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
  Header set Vary 'Accept-Encoding, Cookie'
  Header set Cache-Control 'max-age=3, must-revalidate'
  Header set Accept-Ranges 'bytes'
</IfModule>
```
Would be happy to submit a PR on GitHub, if you accept these.

Hello, WP Super Cache is now hosted in the Jetpack Monorepo on Github, and PRs can be submitted there.

However, I can’t promise that the PR will be merged, as that would depend on a number of factors. But, I encourage you to do so and start a discussion in the PR justifying the feature.

Thanks @adnan007 for pointing me to the new location of super-cache inside the jetpack monorepo! I have created a PR over there:

https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/27748

I hope I did everything right – the monorepo is a bit intimidating for me 😉

Looking forward to your feedback over there.

Thanks for submitting a patch @nonverbla — it was really appreciated that you took the time to work through the submission process, and explain the context and your goals to us.

I’ve described a way you can control your Accept Ranges header without the need to modify WP Super Cache here: https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/27748#issuecomment-1352656727

I hope it helps! 🙂

Thanks @thingalon for considering my request.

I have posted a solution over at the PR, that gives me full automatic control over the behavior without having to rely on super cache. Happy to hear any feedback from you, if you find the time.
