Xpra: Ticket #1952: use content-type hint for better encoding selection and tuning
See #1950: we should try to use the content-type hint more when selecting an encoding.
ie:
- lower lossless threshold for "text", increase it for "video".
- prefer "webp" when we have a content type hint since this is only encoder to actually take this hint into account during compression
etc
