It would be good if changes like this were associated with a relevant
improvement issue in Jira. That way we can better track what was
changed and when.

As an alternative solution, how about if we simply used
MediaTypeRegistry.normalize() in CompositeParser.getParsers() to map
all supported types into their canonical versions. Then we wouldn't
need to duplicate these alias lookups elsewhere and things like
CompositeParser.getSupportedTypes() would automatically return
normalized type names.
