Summary: OBExtensionTable::TypetoMIME is unsafe

Initial Comment:
OBExtensionTable::TypetoMIME copies the MIME type into
a buffer which size is unknown. This is unsafe and
should be changed. The solution might be to add a
length parameter to the method.
From the user's point of view, the buffer used must be
larger than the length of the largest mime-type known
by OpenBabel and this might change when new types are
added.
