#19076: TemplateView does not support setting mime type, like
views.generic.simple.direct_to_template did

I use `direct_to_template` to serve my robots.txt, like this:
{{{
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url('^robots.txt$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='robots.txt',
content_type='text/plain')),
...
}}}
In Django 1.5 this is no longer possible, because the function-based
generic views are removed, and TemplateView does not have a mime/content
type argument.
I think that a `content_type` argument should be added to TemplateView to
add the same functionality that was in the function-based view. Patch to
come.
