With XSS prevention on (enabled using $prevent_xss), blobs
('blob_plain') of all types except a few known safe ones are served
with "Content-Disposition: attachment". However the check was too
strict; it didn't take into account optional parameter attributes,

media-type = type "/" subtype *( ";" parameter )

as described in RFC 2616

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.17
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.7

This fixes that, and it for example treats following as safe MIME
media type:

text/plain; charset=utf-8
