Add shared-mime-types as upstream source #312

Open rimmington opened 8 months ago

rimmington commented 8 months ago

Adds Freedesktop.org's shared-mime-info repository as an upstream. shared-mime-info is used by common Linux desktop environments for MIME information, typically to identify which application to use to open a file. I've generally found sensible rationales for inclusion and changes in the commit messages of the repository.

There are quite a lot of x- types in this source, which reflects the upstream need for a file type for each format even if there is no IANA official or consensus type. Given that both Apache and Nginx also have a lot of x- types I think it's sensible to include them all.
