Requests have an `accepts` method for identifying the mimetype the user
can receive. However, when multiple formats are provided, a
[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Quality_values "quality
value"] can be added to show the preferences on format. Handling this
value currently needs to be done by hand.
I propose:
1. Documenting the existence of `Request.accepted_types`
2. Extract the quality value, and store it as `MediaType.quality`
3. Sort `Request.accepted_types` by quality value
It would be nice to have an API to answer "I can return these mime types,
which would you prefer?", which I guess could be handled manually for now.
