// NegotiateAccept takes the *gin.Context from an incoming request, and a
// slice of Offers, and performs content negotiation for the given request
// with the given content-type offers. It will return a string representation
// of the first suitable content-type, or an error if something goes wrong or
// a suitable content-type cannot be matched.
//
// For example, if the request in the *gin.Context has Accept headers of value
// [application/json, text/html], and the provided offers are of value
// [application/json, application/xml], then the returned string will be
// 'application/json', which indicates the content-type that should be returned.
//
// If the length of offers is 0, then an error will be returned, so this function
// should only be called in places where format negotiation is actually needed.
//
// If there are no Accept headers in the request, then the first offer will be returned,
// under the assumption that it's better to serve *something* than error out completely.
//
// Callers can use the offer slices exported in this package as shortcuts for
// often-used Accept types.
//
