The stdlib provides all necessary mimetypes (see _default_mime_types),
except for application/emf -- but we don't have an emf backend anymore.

This also makes the dict (relatively) easily extensible by the end user,
who could call mimetypes.init(...) themselves to add entries to the
mapping.

The fallback should be application/octet-stream, should it not?

This PR leaves the old behavior, but I'd say that octet-stream is more correct, indeed.
