Mimetype for datapackage.json

See original GitHub issue

Propose to add a section “MediaType and File Extensions” to Data Package spec containing the following:

The MediaType [RFC4288] for Data Package JSON SHOULD be application/x-datapackage.

We could look also to register an official mimetype e.g.

 application/datapackage

Is this referring to just the datapackage.json file (eg is that what the rel links would point to)? If it’s the Media type for the JSON file then it probably makes more sense to use a JSON vendor media type, eg:

application/vnd.datapackage+json

If it’s a zip or some other resource, then a custom one would make sense, but note that x. or x- media types are frown upon.
