Add a mimetype for the Rich Text Format (RTF).

The format is 7-Bit ASCII safe, so automatically passes basic checks for UTF-8. But with all its custom tags and escape sequences it formally is closer to a binary format.

So we use the application/rtf mimetype instead of the also possible text/rtf mimetype, as most consumers will consider this to be binary.

This overrides the misdetection by the stdlib, which claims RTF to be associated with application/msword.
