fall back to urlencoded with POST.

Lower down, if the content-type header is something we don't
understand (say because it there was a typo in the header coming from
the client), default to text/plain for inner parts, but
application/x-www-form-urlencoded for outer parts.

'FieldStorageClass' to the desired class. By default, this is set to
None, in which case we use self.__class__ (as before).

The FieldStorage constructor calls the read_multi method. The read_multi
method creates new FieldStorage objects, re-invoking the constructor
(on the new objects). The problem is that the 'environ', 'keep_blank_values',
and 'strict_parsing' arguments originally passed to the constructor are not
propigated to the new object constructors. This causes os.environ to be used,
leading to a miss-handling of the parts.
I fixed this by passing these arguments to read_multi and then on to the
constructor. See the context diff below.

text/plain later) makes more sense.
ValueError exception when the query string contains fields that don't
contain exactly one '=' sign. (By default, such fields are simply
ignored.) Added this to the doc string describing parse() and
parse_qs().
Also changed the default for keep_blank_values from None to 0 (the
preferred way to spell 'FALSE').
