bitbake: toaster: Use Python's mimetypes module

filemagic is used to guess the mimetype of files when a user
requests a download. However, this adds a dependency on an
external library.

Python does have a mimetypes module, though this guesses the
mimetype rather than doing anything clever with the actual
file content. But for our purposes, it's more than adequate.
(NB Django also uses this module when serving static files.)

Use this instead of relying on any external code, and remove
the filemagic dependency.
