TOML MIME type is missing

[gforcada]

Bug report

Bug description:

Looking at the mimetypes module, it feels odd that .toml files are not recognized, given that they are in use within the Python community (pyproject.toml being the most obvious case).

Looking at the types_map and specially at the comment above it, it is not clear to me what's the criteria of adding one or not whenever they are on the IANA listing.

But to not get myself carried away, and as that would be my first contribution, I would keep it simple. Others can add other missing MIME types.

CPython versions tested on:

CPython main branch

Operating systems tested on:

Linux

It is registered with IANA, the PR should be simple enough, the devguide has some helpful information and we are happy to answer any questions. It should be like this commit: 132b6bc

Thanks! I see, that I should add an entry to Doc/whatsnew nonetheless 👍🏾

@hugovk, out of curiosity, why not automatically generate the dictionary from IANA's table?

I think that this may be a feature request, rather than a bug, but others can decide.

I didn't notice, but I agree, I changed it.
