Description:
------------
The CGI RFC at https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875.txt specifies that the Content-Type header value should be stored in CONTENT_TYPE, but the built-in web server stores it in $_SERVER['HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE'] and does not create a $_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE'] key. (This probably affects CONTENT_LENGTH as well.)

Test script:
---------------
// put this in an index file and un the PHP web server against it,
// then issue `curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8000`
// and see that there is no CONTENT_TYPE key, only HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE.
var_dump($_SERVER)

Expected result:
----------------
Expected to see a CONTENT_TYPE key.

Actual result:
--------------
Saw only HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE key.

Indeed, RFC 3875 section 4.1.3 states:

| If the request includes a message-body, the CONTENT_TYPE
| variable is set to the Internet Media Type [6] of the
| message-body.
| [...]
| The server MUST set this meta-variable if an
| HTTP Content-Type field is present in the client request header.

As there is no particular reason to not to comply with RFC 3875 in
this regard, I consider this a bug that ought to be fixed.

PR #886 is the way to go. Thanks, wusuopu.
