Does not map pdf files to document type

[Andrew Hayzen]

Attempting to test adding content-hub support to docviewer and I have noticed that pdf files are not mapped to the document type when they are opened in the web browser.

We should probably add "pdf" to the list of recognized extensions in src/app/FileExtensionMapper.js and "application/pdf" to the list of recognized mime types in src/app/MimeTypeMapper.js.

@Olivier: yes,

Although in the longer terms there are plans to add pdf support in oxide:

After installing this (via silo) and PdfjsViewer, I still can't open PDFs via the web browser app. I verified that the server is sending application/pdf as the content-type, and the file is named test.pdf, but I don't know if PdfjsViewer registers itself as a handler for that type of file.

@selene: which image are you testing it on? ... I tested again there (w/ a ppa that included the fix) and it works. I tested explictly w/ the pdf document you provided in the comment (test.pdf) and by typing the url in the address bar. I got a prompt to select an app for it (in which pdfjsviewer was listed) and after selecting it I could download it and it opened properly ...

Same here, except that I tested with various test PDF documents (just google for "example pdf"). I tested (and it worked) both on utopic-proposed and 14.09-proposed.
