Resolves facebook#11753. Android versions 4.1-4.3 don't understand the MIME type 'text/html; charset=utf-8' and default to 'text/plain' instead, rendering the content as an unparsed HTML string. Since the encoding is already set and passed separately, removing it from the MIME type has no negative effects.
The fix follows Android Doc on WebView.loadData() and WebView.loadDataWithBaseUrl():

The same fix has already been discussed, successfully tested and incorporated in NativeScript/NativeScript#1038.
