backwards compatibility, we're silently deprecating get_type(),
get_subtype() and get_main_type().  We may eventually noisily
deprecate these.  For now, we'll just fix a bug in the splitting of
the main and subtypes.

get_content_type(), get_content_maintype(), get_content_subtype(): New
methods which replace the above.  These /always/ return a content type
string and do not take a failobj, because an email message always at
least has a default content type.

set_default_type(): Someday there may be additional default content
types, so don't hard code an assertion about the value of the ctype
argument.
