[issue24527] The MimeTypes class cannot ignore global files per instance

[Sebastian Noack]

New submission from Sebastian Noack:

In order to prevent the mimetypes module from considering global files and 
registry entries, you have to call mimetypes.init([]). However, this will 
enforce that behavior globally, and only works if the module wasn't initialized 
yet.

There is also a similar argument in the mimetypes.MimeTypes() constructor, 
however the list of files passed there are considered additionally. But there 
is no way to prevent an individual MinmeTypes instance to consider global files.

Adding a ignore_global_types option would be trivial too add to the MimeTypes 
constructor, and would be extremely useful.
