clearsilver bug in cgi-parse, form posting with explicit chartset...

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I just ran into a bug in clearsilver that I'm surprised has existed for so
long.

The problem occured because Firefox is specifying a character set in the
content type of form posts, ala...

   application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8

Clearsilver cgi_parse was expecting an exact match for
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"..

I fixed this by having clearsilver check only the prefix of content type,
as you can see in my patch below. There is probably a better way to fix
this, by having clearsilver properly parse the content type for it's parts
according to the spec. Though perhaps this fix is enough...
