Hi,
trying to get information from an AVIF image only reports that is an ISO
Media.

$ file drstone.avif
drstone.avif: ISO Media
$ file -i drstone.avif
drstone.avif: application/octet-stream; charset=binary

As of September of 2020 the working draft describes two formats for
AVIF, static image and image sequence with image/avif as their MIME type
(https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-avif/).

With the patch now I have the correct information shown.

$ file drstone.avif
drstone.avif: ISO Media, AVIF Image
$ file -i drstone.avif
drstone.avif: image/avif; charset=binary

Best Regards,
    -> Martin Reboredo
