Support pcap file format
------------------------

                 Key: TIKA-658
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-658
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: mime
            Reporter: Michael Pisula
            Priority: Trivial


Currently the Mime checker does not recognize the pcap file format. As I need 
the recognition for our project, I added it to the tike-mimetypes.xml:

  <!-- MIME Type for pcap file format, see 
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.tcpdump.pcap -->
  <mime-type type="application/vnd.tcpdump.pcap">
    <magic priority="50">
      <match value="0xa1b2c3d4" type="big32" offset="0" />
      <match value="0xd4c3b2a1" type="big32" offset="0" />
    </magic>
        <glob pattern="*.pcap"/>
        <glob pattern="*.cap"/>
        <glob pattern="*.dmp"/>
  </mime-type>

*.cap is already used in image/x-raw-phaseone, so I had to comment it out to 
pass the tests, but I'm sure there is a better way to deal with the conflict, 
just did not have the time to look into it.

With the configuration above pcap recognition works just fine for me, so I just 
wanted to contribute this, in case anyone finds it useful.
