ARInvokeHandler sets the Accept to always be MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON this needs to be configurable

An external API provider uses the Accept/Content headers for versioning.

We have set the zconbt property ignoreMIMETypeCheck=true which allows the ARA build to complete. However when driving the API requester we get a 406 response as zOS Connect sets the value back to application/json rather than the value required by the API provider who rejects the request.

So there seems to be a mismatch in support for custom MIME type headers in that the toolkit will at least ignore them so processing can continue however the API Requester code just sets the default application/json value.

    This requirement is addressed by z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V3.0.43 / APAR PH34379:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH34379

    The he optional attributes: ignoreMIMETypeCheck and useMIMEType, can be use in the build toolkit properties file to handle custom MIME types for API Requesters.

    For further details about MIME Type handling for API requester, refer to the “The build toolkit properties file” topic in the z/OS Connect EE V3.0 Knowledge Center:
