Allow use of symbols for :type option of ActionController::Streaming#send_file/#send_data

#1232

Attached patch adds support for symbols for :type options of send_file and send_data. Instead of this:

@@@ruby send_file("/foo/bar/whatever.png", :type => "image/png")



you can now do this:

@@@ruby
send_file("/foo/bar/whatever.png", :type => :png)

You can use whatever symbol registered through Mime::Type.register. Test is included.

Sorry, the formatting got screwed up:


send_file("/foo/bar/whatever.png", :type => "image/png")

you can now do this:


send_file("/foo/bar/whatever.png", :type => :png)
