[v2 Feedback request] Resolving conflicts over extensions

[broofa]

After waaay too long, I'm rolling out a v2 to address some long-standing issues with this module. One of which is how to resolve the occasional conflict where more than one type is associated with an extension.

mime-types has a partial solution for this, but this doesn't resolve all conflicts. In v2, I'm planning to do use this approach when compiling type maps to insure they're consistent.

FYI, What it looks like when resolving the inconsistencies currently in mime-db:

Oddly enough I looked at that recently, and it makes sense from what I recall. Yes, the mime-types method is rudimentary :) I'll try to take a closer look, but from what I recall of the changes it makes a lot of sense.
