REVISION SUMMARY
  Our HTTP/WSGI server may convert the Content-Type HTTP request
  header to the CONTENT_TYPE WSGI environment key and not set
  HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE. Other WSGI server implementations
  do this, so I think the behavior is acceptable.
  
  So assuming this HTTP request header could get "lost" by the WSGI
  server, let's restore it on the request object like we do for
  Content-Length.
  
  FWIW, the WSGI server may also *invent* a Content-Type value. The
  default behavior of Python's RFC 822 message class returns a default
  media type if Content-Type isn't defined. This is kind of annoying.
  But RFC 7231 section 3.1.1.5 does say the recipient may assume a media
  type of application/octet-stream. Python's defaults are for
  text/plain (given we're using an RFC 822 parser). But whatever.
