[TYPO3-dam] Improving file type indexing with mime_content_type()

Hi.

At the moment, DAM uses the filename extension to guess the media type
of a file. E.g. document.pdf will be categorized as text/pdf. So far so
good.

In my eyes it's more clean to check the MIME type of the file with
mime_content_type()

Using that, even if I rename document.pdf to document.gif it will still
be indicated as text/pdf.

What do you think? Should I open a feature request in the bugtracker?
