#2158: Do not override the response content-type if it has already been
modified.

Currently there is a hack of a string constant used to prevent TG2 from
altering the returned content-type.
{{{
#!python
# from tg.controllers
# If someone goes @expose(content_type=CUSTOM_CONTENT_TYPE) then we won't
override pylons.request.content_type
CUSTOM_CONTENT_TYPE = 'CUSTOM/LEAVE'
}}}
This is a hideous hack. Instead, TG2 should detect changes to the
content-type. By default it is configured as `text/html`. TG2 should not
modify it if its value differs from this default, allowing controllers to
override the content-type in the dynamic and Pylon-esque way:
{{{
#!python
@expose()
def download(self):
response.content_type = self.mime
response.content_disposition = 'attachment; filename="%s"' % self.name
return self.data
}}}
