Recent change to use the Google App Engine Admin API breaks file mimetypes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Perform a gcloud preview app deploy app.yaml

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The website that was deployed using an earlier version of gcloud (that does not 
use the Google App Engine Admin API). Instead, files are served with the header 
Content-Type: application/octet-stream which will make the website break (CSS 
doesn't load with that mimetype).

What is the output of 'gcloud info'?

To clarify, the .yaml file needs a static_dir or static_files directive without 
the mimetype specified for this to happen.

For people stuck with this issue, the solution is to revert to not use the 
Google App Engine Admin API:

gcloud config set app/use_appengine_api false

I just tested this and it now works (for a CSS file I now get "Content-Type: 
text/css" instead of "… application/octet-stream").
