fix(ext-openapi): an answer's media type is the handler's, not the body's

@Consumes says what a route reads. It was also deciding what the document said
a route answers, through a JSON default nothing could override: a handler that
takes a JSON body is not thereby a handler that answers JSON.

@Produces now says that, beside @Consumes and as descriptive as it is — on the
handler, or once on a base class. Every response takes its media type from it,
JSON when nothing declares one, and the error object stays JSON because that is
what Flash answers a failure with whatever the route produces.

Content loses contentType with it. One handler answers in one format and a
status code does not change that, so the media type was in the wrong place; a
response with no schema and no return type to infer one from is a response
with no body, which is what a 204 was using it to say.

The media type of every answer is the handler's `@Produces`, JSON when nothing says otherwise. It
is not on `@Content`: one handler answers in one format, and a status code does not change that.
