MSC4108: Add a Content-Type header on the PUT response (#17253)

Browse source 
This is a workaround for some proxy setup, where the ETag header gets
stripped from the response headers unless there is a Content-Type header
set.

In particular, we saw this bug when putting Cloudflare in front of
Synapse.
I'm pretty sure this is a Cloudflare bug, as this behaviour isn't
documented anywhere, and doesn't make sense whatsoever.
