morganamilo ec05f8ccd5 Detect content-type when extension is missing or unknown ...

If a file has no known extension the content type gets set to
application/octet-stream causing the browser try and download the file
when viewed directly.

This quickly becomes annoying as many of the files I interact with often
have no extension. I.e., config files, log files, LICENSE files and
other random text files.

This patch uses libmagic to detect the file type and set the
content-type header. It also does this for the RSS feed and webdav for
sake of completeness.

This patch does not touch the front end at all so these files still have a 'txt'
button and a type of '%' in the web UI. But when clicked on, the browser
will display the files correctly.

This feature is enabled with the existing "magic" option. I thought this
fit as the existing functionality also uses libmagic and gives file
extensions to files on upload. Tell me if it should be its own option
instead.

The code base was very confusing, this patch works but I have no idea if
it's the way you'd like this implemented. Hopefully its acceptable as
is.
