[Geojson] Mime Type

[Andrew Turner]

Looks like application/json is used in the wild.

The general idea of putting "geo-" in the MIME type seems odd. On one
side, that's the thing you put in namespaces and the like inside the
content. On the other, it would be nice. Something like:
application/geo+json similar to application/geo+atom
