Indeed, http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/image/ knows about image/fits.

Done.

	* freedesktop.org.xml.in: Rename image/x-fits to image/fits
	(IANA-registered name), and add image/x-fits as alias
	* tests/list: Update testcase accordingly

However for you to benefit from this fix, a new shared-mime-info
release has to be made, which is not in my hands.
