Fedora output filenames are intimidating

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Files downloaded via the fedora web interfaces end up having directory names 
prefix them and are often suffixed by redundant .bin extensions. This is 
probably related to the mime type handling performed by fedora.

Ideally, these filenames should be identical to the names before ingest, and as 
they are displayed on the various interface pages.

This issue is mostly aesthetic, but will probably affect users who do not 
understand file associations.

Added the following mappings to 
/ands/fedora/server/config/mime-to-extensions.xml

  <mime-mapping>
    <mime-type>chemical/x-vamas-iso14976</mime-type>
    <extension>vms</extension>
  </mime-mapping>
  <mime-mapping>
    <mime-type>application/x-kratos-vision-dataset</mime-type>
    <extension>dset</extension>
  </mime-mapping>
  <mime-mapping>
    <mime-type>application/x-iontof-surfacelab-measurement</mime-type>
    <extension>itm</extension>
  </mime-mapping>

Scrub that last comment - that has the effect of autogenerating an extra 
extension, giving each download file a double extension such as 
"example.dset.dset".

So I removed the mime-extension mapping changes (unneeded), and simply disabled 
the autogeneration of file extensions by editing 
`/ands/fedora/server/config/fedora.fcfg` and changing the value of 
`/server/param[@name='datastreamExtensionMappingLabel']/@value` from "always" 
to "ifmissing".
