Serve uploads that aren't media as downloads

Uploaded files come from this origin, so one served with a JavaScript
type could run as one of the app's own scripts. Browsers accept sixteen
spellings of that type, and Disk URLs sign the type they were minted
with, so refusing a list of types at upload can't cover links already
out there. Instead, a middleware rewrites the type of anything Active
Storage reads out that isn't plainly media, a PDF or plain text to
application/octet-stream, whatever the URL says.
