[media-source] Add application/mp4 mimetype to ISOBMFF bytestream specification

bbcrddave has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/media-source:

== Add application/mp4 mimetype to ISOBMFF bytestream specification ==
The [ISOBMFF bytestream specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/mse-byte-stream-format-isobmff/) references `audio/mp4` and `video/mp4` mime types, but not `application/mp4` which is required for timed text support (and any other non audio/video content according to [RFC4337](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4337#section-3.3)).

I believe that subtitles encapsulated as described by ISO/IEC 14496-30, for example, already meet all the requirement in the bytestream specification, so it would be great if `application/mp4` could be called out explicitly in  [MIME Parameters](https://www.w3.org/TR/mse-byte-stream-format-isobmff/#mime-parameters) section in the bytestream specification, and added to the mapping in the ISOBMFF entry of the [Registry](https://www.w3.org/TR/mse-byte-stream-format-registry/#registry) section of the Format Registry.

CMAF and DASH-IF, for example, call out this as the relevant mime type for timed text, so I believe this change should be in scope.

Am I right in thinking that changes can be made to the registry and bytestream specifications outside of charter as long as there is consensus?
