 At least one XML-RPC client (MaStory on Maemo) does not set the type
 parameter on uploaded objects. This means we don't create appropriate
 thumbnails correctly.

 Given some clients are on fairly low-power, simple devices, it's probably
 worth Wordpress attempting to determine the mime-type, especially as
 functions calls we /already/ make on attachments will give us that
 information already for the common-case of image uploads.
