Item13821: remove dependency on File::MMagic

Priority: Urgent
Current State: Closed

File::MMagic is too unreliable, even File::MMagic::XS fails considerably yet on different types. Instead, we are detecting mime types based on the file extension now. This is less "magic" but more reliable and predictable. Incorrect mime type detection may have lead to high memory consumption, for instance when a media file not detected as such and treated as text/plain ... thus happily feeding it to solr.
