Display PDF blobs

GitHub renders a PDF with a viewer of its own and so ships no content for
one, leaving the blob view with nothing to show. Its raw bytes come as
application/octet-stream, which browsers download rather than display, so
serve them from a new embed route that retypes them and point an <object>
at that.
