sercon: send correct content-type from client

Declare the correct content-type for requests from client.

Roughly after the move to Wildfly, the ovirt-vmconsole-list.py helper
stopped working, because the server-side applet was not able anymore
to fetch the request body.

That happened because the ovirt-vmconsole-list.py helper was using
an incorrect content-type for its requests: it stated that the body
is encoded using MIME type 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
but that was false.

When we use the x-www-form-urlencoded content type the server tries
to interpret it as form, and thus it consumes all the body input stream
looking for "a=b&c=d&...".

This may have changed from jboss to wildfly, but the key point was that
the incorrect (and default) content-type sent by client may confuse a
well-behaving conformant server, leading into troubles.

This patch fixes the client using the correct content-type: 'text/plain'.
