Summary0000174: CSV files identified as "application/csv" instead of registered "text/csv"
DescriptionThe new CSV file identification is returning "application/csv".
According to RFC 4180, the registered mime type is 'text/csv'.
"application/csv" is not registered at all, see https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml

If there is no valid reason to use "application/csv", that I'm not aware of, could this be updated, please?
Steps To Reproduce(via python-magic)

>>> import magic
>>> magic.from_buffer("a,b,c\nd,e,f\ng,h,i\n", mime=True)
'application/csv'
