Description
# Bugs
> Note: The plugin-types grammar allows for an empty directive value in which case all instantions of embed and object will fail.
https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-csp/#directive-plugin-types
We validate it must match something like `application/pdf` which is not correct.
### Expected outcome
Describe what you expected to happen
`plugin_types` should allow for an empty directive. Sending an empty array omits the directive. Sending `none` is not allowed by validation. An array of empty strings doesn't work either (validation)
### Actual outcome
Configuration errors when trying to do the right thing
