Description

### MDN URL

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/Accept-Ranges

### What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Forbidden request header

### What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

This is a response header. This pattern is repeated in the section due to search/replace.

For example:

```html

Header type
{{Glossary("Response header")}}


{{Glossary("Forbidden request header")}}
No

```

### What did you expect to see?

Suggestion from @wbamberg to do the following:

* for request headers, list whether it is a forbidden request header or a CORS-safelisted request header
* for response headers, list whether it is a forbidden response header or a CORS-safelisted response header
* for headers that may be either, list all four

### Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

_No response_

### Do you have anything more you want to share?

_No response_
