Fix #4521. Reader/Csv (which can be invoked by IOFactory::read), checks the mimetype of files if they don't have a csv/tsv extension. It allows empty files, whose mimetype was set to `inode/x-empty` for Php5.3.11 through Php7.3.33 (except for 5.4.0). For 5.3.1-5.3.10, 5.4.0, and 7.4.0+, the mimetype is `application/x-empty`. Reader/Csv recognizes the `inode` version but not the `application` version, which this PR adds. The person who issued the report also noted that, for a file consisting of cr-lf, Php8.1.* and Php8.2.* report the mimetype as `application/octet-stream`, whereas all other releases report it as `text/plain`. The behavior of Php8.1/2 seems to be a bug, and I cannot possibly guess all the conditions that might lead to that bug. So I will not fix that problem. Anyone who is adversely affected by it can either add a `csv` extension to the filename, or upgrade to Php8.3+, or pre-process the file (e.g. to make it truly empty) before passing it to PhpSpreadsheet. A test case to document the problem is added for documentary purposes; the test will be skipped for Php8.1/2, but run for all other releases.

Patreon
I am now running a Patreon to support the work that I do on PhpSpreadsheet.
Supporters will receive access to articles about working with PhpSpreadsheet, and how to use some of its more advanced features.
Posts already available to Patreon supporters:
- The Dating Game
- A look at how MS Excel (and PhpSpreadsheet) handle date and time values.
- Looping the Loop
- Advice on Iterating through the rows and cells in a worksheet.
And for Patrons at levels actively using PhpSpreadsheet:
- Behind the Mask
- A look at Number Format Masks.
The Next Article (currently Work in Progress):
- Formula for Success
- How to debug formulae that don't produce the expected result.
My aim is to post at least one article each month, taking a detailed look at some feature of MS Excel and how to use that feature in PhpSpreadsheet, or on how to perform different activities in PhpSpreadsheet.
Planned posts for the future include topics like:
- Tables
- Structured References
- AutoFiltering
- Array Formulae
- Conditional Formatting
- Data Validation
- Value Binders
- Images
- Charts
After a period of six months exclusive to Patreon supporters, articles will be incorporated into the public documentation for the library.
PHPExcel vs PhpSpreadsheet ?
PhpSpreadsheet is the next version of PHPExcel. It breaks compatibility to dramatically improve the code base quality (namespaces, PSR compliance, use of latest PHP language features, etc.).
Because all efforts have shifted to PhpSpreadsheet, PHPExcel will no longer be maintained. All contributions for PHPExcel, patches and new features, should target PhpSpreadsheet master branch.
Do you need to migrate? There is an automated tool for that.
