Browse source 
- Snappy is not and RLE compressor, it is LZ77 based.
- Add `xz` as a common file type.
- Add most common media container types.
- Never heard of `application/x-spoon`. Google turns up a blank as well.
- Change link to minio blog post on compression & encryption.

### 3. Note
- Already compressed objects are not fit for compression since they do not have compressible patterns. Such objects do not produce efficient [`Run-length encoding (RLE)`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_encoding) which is a fitness factor for a lossless data compression. Below is a list of common files and content-types which are not suitable for compression.
