Allowing video/x-ms-asf be a valid .wmv mimetype (Bug 1364609)

The video/x-ms-asf mimetype is valid for .asf, .wmv and .wma files
but as we can't map more than one extension to the same mimetype I've
added a little hack allowing the .wmv and .wma extensions to also
include the video/x-ms-asf mimtype in the list of valid mimetypes.

Title:
  Problem with windows wmv files having filetype video/x-ms-asf

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Sometimes windows files that have the wmv (or wma) extension are being
  saved in the artefact_file_files table as mimetype video/x-ms-asf
  rather than video/x-ms-wmv (or audio/x-ms-wma).

  This means you can't add them to a video (or audio) block.

  Also for some reason, which I'm yet to work out, sites  can have data
  where a wmv video with mimetype video/x-ms-asf is connected to an
  internalmedia block.

  I'm not sure if they had the correct mimetype of video/x-ms-wmv in the
  past and somehow the mimetype changed or whether the mahara system
  allowed them to  connect files with mimetype video/x-ms-asf.

  
  But as there can be bad existing data on a site it needs to be fixed up pretty soon so that more bad data is created.

  Looking at a myportfolio site there were 11,200 internal media blocks
  and 2,500 of them had a connection to a wmv file that had video/x-ms-
  asf as the mimetype (about 1/5th)

  So it seems to be more than an isolated incidence.
