Description
I have an RSS feed that has the header content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8 instead of content-type: application/rss+xml; charset=UTF-8, but the Hookshot widget doesn't allow adding it.
I manually set the uk.half-shot.matrix-hookshot.feed state event, and the feed is working.

Research direction
Start in the Hookshot widget's RSS feed validation flow and reproduce the issue with a feed returning content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8. Compare it with the manually configured uk.half-shot.matrix-hookshot.feed state event; done means the widget accepts and uses the feed without manual state configuration.
