Add preset-headless preset which has everything that preset-default has minus tcltk and idle

[zooba]

Why is this different from the nuget package? Should we just add more things into that package?

[zooba]

In fact, any reason you can't use "--preset-nuget --include-..."? to add in whatever else you need? They are designed to compose like this deliberately.

Thanks for the feedback Steve

Looking at the differences between the change I proposed and the nuget package I agree that "--preset-nuget --include-..." is a better approach.
