Support additional Content-Types as textual in WEB CONVERSE

When WEB CONVERSE receives a response and places it in a container, it uses the Content-Type header to determine whether to create a BIT or CHAR container for the response. e.g. Well-known Content-Types such as 'application/json' result in a CHAR container.

However, other standard Content-Types such as 'application/vnd.api+json' result in a BIT container, even though the Content-Type indicates that the response is JSON and therefore in textual format.

Please extend the determination based on Content-Type to be sensitive to the standard IANA suffix '+json' (as per '+xml'), and treat the response as text.

Ref: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6839#section-3.1
"The suffix '+json' MAY be used with any media type whose representation follows that established for 'application/json'."

Per discussion with Mark Cocker, Oct 2016 in Melbourne, Australia.

    This requirements has been re-assessed. We have no plans for this to be implemented and so this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
