negotiate_content_type does not detect application/json in HTTP Accept header if it includes a qvakue
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: COUCHDB-521
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-521
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HTTP Interface
            Reporter: Ben Hollis
            Priority: Minor


If I request a document from CouchDB with an Accept header like this:

Accept: application/json
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/json,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

CouchDB will serve back the response with the "application/json" content type.

However, if my Accept header looks like:
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/json;q=0.9,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

CouchDB responds with text/plain.

This seems to be because in src/couchdb/couch_httpd.erl, in negotiate_content_type, the Accept header is split on "," and then searched for "application/json". It should really discard anything after ";" when searching.
