Add a Content-Type header on POST requests to the federation client script

Fix noop checks when updating device keys

Fix encoding error for consent form on python3

Clients often reupload their device keys (for some reason) so its
important for the server to check for no-ops before sending out device
list update notifications.

The check is broken in python 3 due to the fact comparing bytes and
unicode always fails, and that we write bytes to the DB but get unicode
when we read.

When we receive events over federation we will need to know the room
version to be able to correctly handle them, e.g. once we start changing
event formats. Currently, we attempt to handle events in unknown rooms.

The form was rendering this as "b'01234....'".
