[issue19377] Backport SVG mime type to Python 2

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment:

Christian: I think adding MIME types falls under platform support and we do still add platform support to Python 2.7.

That said, the mimetypes module *does* use platform files for determining MIME types, so adding missing MIME types there will likely result in a more usable overall system :-)

In other words: the problem is not really in Python's module, which only provides a bare minimum of MIME types, but in the system setup of your system, Anatoly.
