Description

With Solr 5.1.0, indexing a png file does not work:

$ bin/post -filetypes png -c test2 docs/images/quickstart-query-screen.png 
java -classpath /Users/erikhatcher/solr-5.1.0/dist/solr-core-5.1.0.jar -Dauto=yes -Dfiletypes=png -Dc=test2 -Ddata=files org.apache.solr.util.SimplePostTool docs/images/quickstart-query-screen.png
SimplePostTool version 5.0.0
Posting files to [base] url http://localhost:8983/solr/test2/update...
Entering auto mode. File endings considered are png
SimplePostTool: WARNING: Skipping quickstart-query-screen.png. Unsupported file type for auto mode.
1 files indexed.
COMMITting Solr index changes to http://localhost:8983/solr/test2/update...
Time spent: 0:00:00.039

"png" is not in SimplePostTool's mimeMap data structure and thus is considered unsupported.

Instead, when in auto mode, SimplePostTool should send anything it encounters (within the `filetypes` constraint) to Solr.
