updating how Accept-Post works

hello all.

after checking back with steve, it seems like a good idea to change
Accept-Post so that it uses the media type definition of HTTP's Accept,
instead of using the one of Accept-Patch. there is no difference for LDP,
but it makes Accept-Post more widely applicable.

Accept-Patch only allows media types and no wildcards:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789#section-3.1

Accept allows media types and wildcards:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-14.1

we believe that aligning Accept-Post with HTTP's Accept is a better idea
than aligning it with Accept-Patch, and as mentioned above, there is no
impact on LDP.

https://github.com/dret/I-D/tree/master/accept-post is where the
pre-publication draft lives, and i will update the current version to the
new model before submitting it next monday.

cheers,

dret.
