Idea: add Option to set filetype based on content-type

[kevintraver]

Idea: Add an option to update the buffer filetype to match the content-type (instead of httpResult).

This could be an opt-in feature (not default).

For example, if the response was json, the buffer filetype would be set to json. Could maybe also default to html.

This would be awesome for things like treesitter.

Another idea: have an option to split the results panel window, and have one buffer be the headers with type httpResult, and the body would be a second buffer with whatever the returned content-type is (html, json, etc...).

This is now possible with v3 release.
Each panes in response window has dedicated buffers, so you can open multiple response views at once.
For example, you can open Response pane and Headers pane in same time like screenshot from README.

rest.nvim now use tree-sitter-http parser for response UI highlights and http parser supports general injections for json, xml and graphql.

So you can use all tree-sitter features from response pane. (e.g. highlights, injections, folds)
