Bug 43209: Add the X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff response header

Koha already sends X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN on its responses but does not
send X-Content-Type-Options. Without it a browser may MIME sniff a response and
treat it as a content type other than the one declared, which can turn an
otherwise harmless response into executable script and enable content type
confusion attacks.

This adds X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff everywhere Koha already sets
X-Frame-Options: in C4::Output::output_with_http_headers and in the two header
blocks in C4::Auth ( the login page and get_template_and_user ), so the staff
client, the OPAC, and the login page all send it.

An old report ( bug 23874 ) suggested nosniff broke the advanced cataloging
editor, but that was a mixed content ( http on https ) problem, not nosniff,
and
it no longer reproduces. The editor's scripts, including the
svc/cataloguing/framework JSONP call, are served as text/javascript, so nosniff
does not block them.

Test Plan:
1) Apply this patch
2) Restart all the things!
3) Run: curl -sI <staff-url>/cgi-bin/koha/mainpage.pl
4) Note the response includes X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
5) Repeat for the OPAC and for a logged-out staff page ( the login page )
6) Note all of them include the header!
7) Open the advanced cataloging editor ( Cataloging > Advanced editor )
8) Note the editor still loads correctly!
