Description

Add the .webmanifest extension with corresponding application/manifest+json MIME type to the list of common MIME types (and extensions).

Motivation

Given the recommendations on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Manifest#deploying_a_manifest, based on the specification in https://w3c.github.io/manifest/#media-type-registration, this extension and corresponding MIME type is a relevant entry for web-related extensions and MIME types. This should help people more easily recognize webmanifest files and their purpose.

Thanks @jnoordsij - it is certainly as common and relevant as some of the other file types listed.
