  1. Fix body parser to handle borked content type

    I recently upgraded an app using @architect/functions from ^3.14.1 to
    ^8.1.6 and ran into an error parsing the body from some client requests.
    
    It turned out that there was some client code sending an invalid content
    type header, formatting it the same as http accept, and including two
    comma-separated mime types, application/json and text/plain, which I
    know is just wrong, but the way the body parser handled this was to
    consider the request to be both json and plain text and then blow up
    when parsing the body as plain text, with the error below...
    
    {
        "errorType": "TypeError",
        "errorMessage": "The first argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, ArrayBuffer, or Array or an Array-like Object. Received an instance of Object",
        "code": "ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE",
        "stack": [
            "TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The first argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, ArrayBuffer, or Array or an Array-like Object. Received an instance of Object",
            "    at new from (node:buffer:319:9)",
            "    at parseBody (/var/task/node_modules/@architect/functions/src/http/helpers/body-parser.js:44:22)",
            "    at Runtime.lambda [as handler] (/var/task/node_modules/@architect/functions/src/http/index.js:33:22)"
        ]
    }
    
    This commit fixes that by changing the conditions to only parse the body
    once, even if the content type is malformed and includes multiple types.
    
    This seems to do the job ok, but it might better to actually validate
    the content type header and blow up with an informative error message.
