Allow provides() to handle "raw" MIME Type declarations as well as "shortcut" 
names

                 Key: COUCHDB-898
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-898
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JavaScript View Server
    Affects Versions: 1.0.1
            Reporter: Benjamin Young
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.0.2


Right now, provides() only supports the content types declared via 
registerType() if they're selected using the shortcut names used in main.js (or 
render.js in trunk). Without a list of those "laying around" a developer will 
likely submit a raw MIME Type vs. using the shortcut name.

For example,
provides("text/calendar", ....);

currently fails because you need to use:
provides("ics", ....);

More people know about "text/calendar" than will know to guess the shortcut 
name.
