Option to place script in <head>

Problem/Motivation

Love the module, very handy! Lately we have had a few requests to place the tag inside <head>. We usually just go with this anyway and it always works fine at the top of the <body> but I wondered if this is not a common requirement? Dealing with one now where they are insisting it go in <head> so will have to hard coded it.

Does anyone else think this would be a useful feature?

    Seems reasonable to me

    I've had a go at this now.

    My main hangup is that the scripts for the page top and bottom need script tags, but scripts in the head are added as attachments, and they must exclude script tags. Don't know the best way to handle this. I put a comment in the snippet description; guidance for the user may be sufficient. We could strip tags out on saving and/or validate & error out, but I don't know how many varying use cases we might need to cover.

    For a client who was behind a WAF and couldn't submit POST entries with script tags, we wrote a module to split the textarea into three fields (html, css, js) and then reconstituted that into separate tags.

    Perhaps that's an option here?

    Took a look at the MR, that looks reasonable to me.

    Perhaps we could add validation to the form to check for <script> when the position is head?

    I've now added validation to check for script tags if head position is specified (and fixed my commit workflow on the fork. Everything is on the issue branch).

    Just realised there was no MR for this so I created one.

    Looking good, left a couple of minor comments on the MR

    It looks like we have a failing test too?
