Standardize use of `content` parameter in snippets API

There was some confusion over whether `code` or `content` is the right
parameter for snippets. Internally, the database stores
`content`. However:

1. Project snippets use `code`. `code` gets remapped in `content` in
`lib/api/project_snippets.rb`.

2. Personal snippets use `content`.

To unify these APIs, allow an alias of `content` to work for project
snippets.
