Fix failures in StringOutputFormatter functional tests

The missing piece here is is that StringOutputFormatter needs to set the
ContentType so that it gets overridden. The problem is that the formatter
is likely called with something like application/json, but decides to
write a string anyway. So because we're saying 'yes we can write' we also
need to override what we're writing.
