Description
This returns json:
curl 'http://localhost:8000/general/v0/general' --header 'Accept: application/json' --form files=@sample-docs/layout-parser-paper-fast.pdf --form output_format="text/csv"
And this returns csv:
curl 'http://localhost:8000/general/v0/general' --form files=@sample-docs/layout-parser-paper-fast.pdf --form output_format="text/csv"
I think we want some sort of indication that the Accept header is overriding the output_type, maybe an error when both are present with different filetypes?

Research direction
Reproduce the two curl requests from the issue against the general endpoint, then inspect the request handling for Accept and output_format. Define and test the expected behavior when both specify different formats; done means the endpoint no longer silently returns JSON when output_format requests CSV.
