The specification for the manifest file for web applications was
recently updated¹ and it changed one of the recommended file extensions
from `.manifest` to the unique `.webmanifest`².

* Reorganized media types and order them alphabetically
* Include some new media types in order to align with what is provided
by the Apache configurations.

Four years ago the recommended file extension for AppCache manifest
files was changed¹ from `.manifest` to `.appcache`. So, even adding
into consideration the transitional period, it no longer makes sense
to keep the configurations that ensure that `.manifest` files are
served with the AppCache required `text/cache-manifest` media type.
Also, recently, `.manifest` became one of the recommended file
extensions for web application manifest² files.

SVG is primarily an image format. Its usage as a font format is a
legacy issue for supporting iOS 3 and iOS 4. In Chrome 38, support
for SVG fonts has been removed (http://caniuse.com/#feat=svg-fonts).
They have never been supported in Firefox or IE.

Apply all the configs used for `.ico` files to `.cur` files as the two
image formats are almost identical.
The MIME type for the `.cur` file doesn't matter as browsers seem to
sniff the content. However, `image/x-icon` is specified because it's
the one usually used for `.ico` file and because it's shorther then the
other frequentlly used one (`image/vnd.microsoft.icon`), making the
header size smaller.

Serve `.torrent` files with the `application/x-bittorrent` MIME type
instead of the default `application/octet-stream`. This helps improve
the user experience in some browsers (e.g.: in Firefox, the user is
offered the option to open the file with a torrent application, if
it has one installed).

Remove `.jsonp` as there isn't any convention around the JSONP MIME-type
or the `.jsonp` extension. Also, it seems that, `application/javascript`
is arguably the wrong type to use for JSONP.
