Some recent additions to our upload script are now storing response bodies in S3 with the content type `binary/octet-stream`. This appears to be a change in boto3 (the AWS SDK), where it is now using that as a generic content type instead of `application/octet-stream`. This new type is not actually valid; I'm not sure why they're doing it, but this is functionally the same, and should not cause us to consider something as "definitely not HTML". (Obviously we should fix the upload script, too, but that is a secondary concern.)

Some recent additions to our upload script (edgi-govdata-archiving/web-monitoring-processing#855) are now storing response bodies in S3 with the content type
binary/octet-stream. This isn’t a valid media type (it should beapplication/octet-stream), and this appears to be a change in boto3 (the AWS SDK) or maybe a difference between it and AWS SDKs for other languages. Regardless, we now have data stored this way and we should handle it the same asapplication/octet-stream(essentially: this content-type tells us nothing one way or the other, so ignore it).Obviously we should fix the upload script, too, but that is a secondary concern vs. actual data we have stored.
