Write endpoints parse the body as JSON regardless of Content-Type
The insert, upsert, alter and set-column-type endpoints previously
required Content-Type: application/json while /-/create parsed the body
blind - and insert returned a 500 AttributeError when the header was
missing entirely. The lenient rule is now uniform: the body is always
parsed as JSON and invalid JSON is a 400. This makes curl -d and
requests data=json.dumps(...) invocations work without remembering the
header. Cross-site request forgery remains prevented by the Origin and
Sec-Fetch-Site checks in CrossOriginProtectionMiddleware, which is the
defense the strict content-type requirement was historically standing
in for.
