net/http: support Content-Type: application/json

[hoisie]

Many popular javascript libraries, like jQuery, support sending requests with the
application/json content-type. Some even enable it by default (like backbone.js, link
below ). It would be nice if Go supported parsing requests with this content type.

It seems like you can check the content-type
and then 
json.NewDecoder(req.Body).Unmarshal(&myData)
no?
