Description
As seen on Fennec, some boxes just don't have mimetypes registered see:
https://github.com/pocmo/Fennec-DLC-Catalog/commit/b6abf51514f3d0a330166b2a4482a821cc86858c
we should deal with this in kinto-attachement. https://github.com/Kinto/kinto-attachment/blob/master/scripts/upload.py#L61
maybe by raising an error ? another option is to guess it on the server-side in Kinto when it's not provided by the client maybe ?

Research direction
Start with scripts/upload.py at line 61 and compare its MIME-type handling with the Fennec example in commit b6abf51514f3d0a330166b2a4482a821cc86858c. Clarify whether unknown types should raise an error or be guessed server-side in Kinto; the work is done when one consistent behavior is selected and implemented for missing MIME types.
