 The send_headers function in wp-includes/classes.php sets the X-Pingback
 header when initializing the headers array. It's possible the site has
 disabled link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)
 through the default_ping_status option exposed in Discussion Settings.

 WordPress should only advertise the header when a given site has enabled
 pingbacks. Requires moving X-Pingback out of the initial headers variable
 and into a conditional.

 The default_ping_status option sets a default that may be overridden in
 each post. The attached patch only addresses the site-wide option but does
 not take into consideration a request for a post or page which may enable
 a pingback regardless of the site-wide default.
