 This property allows a user to register custom mime types or extension mappings.

+By default node-mime will throw an error if you try to map a type to an extension 
+that is already assigned to another type. Passing `force: true` will suppress this behavior 
+(overriding any previous mapping).
+eg. `mimeTypes: { typeMap: { 'text/html': [ 'phtml' ] } }, force: true }`.
