Prevent conflict between mime types and Object methods

Assuming the type ":touch", Collector.new was calling
send(:touch), which instead of triggering method_missing
and generating a new collector method, actually
invoked the private method `touch` inherited from
Object.

By generating the method for each mime type as it
is registered, the private methods on Object can
never be reached by `send`, because the `Collector`
will have them before `send` is called on it.

To do this, a callback mechanism was added to Mime::Type

This allows someone to add a callback for whenever
a new mime type is registered. The callback then
gets called with the new mime as a parameter.

This is then used in AbstractController::Collector
to generate new collector methods after each mime
is registered.
