Add missing MIME types #129965
Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
https://github.com/mikeckennedy/content-types identifies some common MIME types missing from the default mimetypes list.
Running https://github.com/mikeckennedy/content-types/blob/main/samples/compare_to_builtin.py on Python 3.13 to identify some missing ones:
❯ uv run --python 3.13 --with content-types https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikeckennedy/content-types/refs/heads/main/samples/compare_to_builtin.py
Compare types in mimetypes vs content-types.
There are 5 types where mimetypes and content-types disagree
mimetypes: .exe application/octet-stream, content-types: .exe application/x-msdownload
mimetypes: .xml text/xml, content-types: .xml application/xml
mimetypes: .wav audio/x-wav, content-types: .wav audio/wav
mimetypes: .dll application/octet-stream, content-types: .dll application/x-msdownload
mimetypes: .obj application/octet-stream, content-types: .obj model/obj
There are 0 types in mimetypes that are not in content-types
There are 31 types in content-types that are not in mimetypes

.ogg -> audio/ogg
.weba -> audio/webmLet's add some of these, but check with IANA and relevant specs. For example, .wav is in RFC 2361 as audio/vnd.wave not audio/wav. We currently have it as audio/x-wav.
