feat: issue2551068 - Provide way to retrieve file/msg data via rest endpoint. Use Allow header to change format of /binary_content endpoint. If Allow header for endpoint is not application/json, it will be matched against the mime type for the file. */*, text/* are supported and will return the native mime type if present. Changes: move */* mime type from static dict of supported types. It was hardcoded to return json only. Now it can return a matching non-json mime type for the /binary_content endpoint. Edited some errors to explicitly add */* mime type. Cleanups to use ', ' separation in lists of valid mime types rather than just space separated. Remove ETag header when sending raw content. See issue 2551375 for background. Doc added to rest.txt. Small format fix up (add dash) in CHANGES.txt. Make passing an unset/None/False accept_mime_type to format_dispatch_output a 500 error. This used to be the fallback to produce a 406 error after all processing had happened. It should no longer be possible to take that code path as all 406 errors (with valid accept_mime_types) are generated before processing takes place. Make format_dispatch_output handle output other than json/xml so it can send back binary_content data. Removed a spurious client.response_code = 400 that seems to not be used. Tests added for all code paths. Database setup for tests msg and file entry. This required a file upload test to change so it doesn't look for file1 as the link returned by the upload. Download the link and verify the data rather than verifying the link. Multiple formatting changes to error messages to make all lists of valid mime types ', ' an not just space separated.

Roundup Tracker Templates
=========================

The templates distributed with Roundup are stored in the "share" directory
nominated by Python. On Unix this is typically
``/usr/share/roundup/templates/`` (or ``/usr/local/share...``) and
on Windows this is ``c:\python27\share\roundup\templates\``.

The template loading looks in four places to find the templates:

1. *share* - eg. ``<prefix>/share/roundup/templates/*``.
   This should be the standard place to find them when Roundup is
   installed running setup.py from source.
2. ``install_dir``/../<prefix>/share/....``, where prefix is the
   Python's ``sys.prefix``. ``sys.base_prefix`` or 
   `sys.base_prefix/local``. This finds templates (and locales)
   installed by pip. E.G. in a virtualenv located at (``sys.prefix``):
   ``/tools/roundup``, roundup would be at:
   ``/tools/roundup/lib/python3.6/site-packages/roundup``. The
   templates would be at:
   ``/tools/roundup/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tools/roundup/share/roundup/templates/``.
3. ``<roundup.admin.__file__>/../../share/roundup/templates/*``.
   This will be used if Roundup's run in the distro (aka. source)
   directory.
4. ``<current working dir>/*``.
   This is for when someone unpacks a 3rd-party template.
5. ``<current working dir>``.
   This is for someone who "cd"s to the 3rd-party template dir.

Templates contain:

- modules ``schema.py`` and ``initial_data.py``
- directories ``html``, ``detectors`` and ``extensions``
  (with appropriate contents)
- optional directory ``lib`` which contains modules used by the other
  tracker components
- optional ``config_ini.ini`` file. It is structured like a tracker's
  ``config.ini`` but contains only headers (e.g. ``[main]``) and
  *required* parameters that are different from defaults. For example::
  
    [main]
    template_engine = jinja2

    static_files = static

  These settings override the default values in the tracker's
  ``config.ini`` when using roundup-admin to install a template.
- template "marker" file ``TEMPLATE-INFO.txt``, which contains
  the name of the template, a description of the template
  and its intended audience.

  An example TEMPLATE-INFO.txt:

  .. code-block:: text

     Name: classic
     Description: This is a generic issue tracker that may be used to
		  track bugs, feature requests, project issues or any
		  number of other types of issues. Most users of
		  Roundup will find that this template suits them,
		  with perhaps a few customisations.
     Intended-For: All first-time Roundup users
