Centralize CGI Content-Type printing in one cgiPrintContentType() helper

Around 90 places across the tree hand-rolled the CGI response header, each
with its own spelling: "Content-Type:" or "Content-type:", \n or \r\n, and
the terminating blank line written as part of the same string, as a separate
puts("\n") (which emits two newlines, so a stray blank line led the body) or
as printf("\r\n\r\n") (two blank lines).  A handful forgot the terminator
entirely and relied on a following header to supply it.

cgiPrintContentType() in lib/cheapcgi.c now writes the Content-Type line and
the blank line that ends the header.  Header lines are not ordered, so the
callers that also send Status, Set-Cookie, Content-Disposition, Content-Length
or X-Sendfile write those first and call this last to close the header; that
keeps it to a single helper rather than a print-the-line / end-the-header pair
that a caller can half-use.  cart.c's existing httpHeaders list already worked
this way.

Only the CGI response path is touched.  The dyStringPrintf("Content-type: ...")
calls that build outgoing HTTP *requests* (genomeSpace, oauthLogin, eapMetaSync,
edwWebAuthLogin, ga4ghToBed) are unrelated and left alone.

Also fills out the apiKey error message in botDelay.c to say where to create a
key and that keys are server-specific.

No behavior change on the wire beyond dropping those stray blank lines and
adding the missing newline after Retry-After.
