"MIME type" references should be changed to "Media type"

This was first called to our attention by kingu at https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/phpmyadmin/4-9/nb_NO/?checksum=4948153a8921808d#comments (see also https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml).

The term "MIME type" is now apparently outdated and should now be referred to as "Media Type."

We use this quite a few times in both code comments and strings presented to the user.

I think it will make the most sense to change the string from "MIME type" to something like "Media (MIME) type."

I suggest changing MIME type to Media (MIME) type in 5.0 and removing references to MIME and only use media type in 5.1.

Sounds and looks more complex than necessary, why not go for Media type directly?

Olaf, my thinking is that many people won’t realize that it’s changed and could get hung up on the new terms...although it probably isn’t that big of a deal, it’s pretty obvious in many cases what this field is for. So I’m not sure. Maybe it does make more sense to switch over fully for 5.0. 🤷‍♂️

@ibennetch I created an alternative pull request (#15366) that changes MIME type references to media type. You can choose between #15354 and #15366.

Is this targeted at 5.0 or at 5.1?
