    Avoid unrecognized content-type message

    Fixes bug #904473

    If the client does not include a Content-type header in its request
    (which is normal for e.g. GET and DELETE) then eventlet will pass us
    'text/plain'.

    Because 'text/plain' isn't one of our supported request content types
    we log:

      Unrecognized Content-Type provided in request

    This can be an annoying red-herring for people debugging issues.

    The reason that eventlet defaults to text/plain is because it uses
    the mimetools.Message.gettype() method:

      Message.gettype()
        Return the message type [..] as specified in the Content-Type
        header. If no such header exists, return 'text/plain'.

    The wsgiref web server has the same behavior, whereas mod_wsgi will
    pass no content-type and twisted will pass an empty string.

    Make our code more robust by treating the empty string or text/plain
    as if no content-type header was supplied.
