Encode "<" and ">" in JSON/Ajax responses to prevent content-sniffing attacks
Summary:
Some browsers will still sniff content types even with "Content-Type" and
"X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff". Encode "<" and ">" to prevent them from
sniffing the content as HTML.
See T865.
Also unified some of the code on this pathway.
Test Plan: Verified Opera no longer sniffs the Conduit response into HTML for
the test case in T865. Unit tests pass.
