bve-odooandJulien Castiaux 48109c15d3 [FIX] mail: parse Content-Type binary/octet-stream
Some mail clients set a wrong content-type for PDF attachments, they
set `binary/octet-stream` which doesn't exist[^1]. Odoo would crash
with a traceback in case it tried to extract the content of such
malformed attachment because Python doesn't know how to decode such
content-types.

Looking at the actual content of the emails we received, we would had
expected the content-type to be `application/octet-stream` instead. It
is fair to assume that the mail client software is buggy or poorly
configured and that it assumes that `application/octet-stream` and
`binary/octet-stream` represent the same thing.

Following Postel's Law[^2], it is better to still handle those malformed
emails, assuming the content-type is `application/octet-stream`.
