Adds support for video/mp2t (MPEG-2 transport streams)

I have here the patch to recognize video/mp2t (MPEG-2 transport streams). It's an enhanced version of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi%3Fid%3D24690%23c1. Naming comes from http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3555.txt (page 38). The glob patterns come from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG_transport_stream and are all not yet mentioned in the mime database, except *.ts and *.m2t.

To control matching order of magic patterns one may use "magic priority=", but glob patterns match in order of their appearance in the database file, so:

*.ts is currently recognized as application/x-linguist but without any magic pattern. If we position video/mp2t AFTER it, we can control with the magic pattern if a *.ts becomes video/mp2t or not. I carefully chose the magic pattern to be exactly as strict as necessary to match all valid video/mp2t.

*.m2t is currently recognized as video/mpeg which is wrong according to Wikipedia and e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89543. So I chose to position video/mp2t BEFORE video/mpeg.
