Release 3.49.9

Content-Type and file-type detection fixes, plus the C++ source-compat
restoration (int-backed hts_boolean/hts_tristate), since 3.49.8, with a batch of
internal build, packaging and test-harness improvements folded into one line.

The exported interface is unchanged versus 3.49.8 (same 164 symbols, no
struct-layout change), so VERSION_INFO is a revision bump (3:0:0 -> 3:1:0) and
the soname stays libhttrack.so.3.
