The magic package for libmagic support has many different implementations that conflict with each other. For the avatar only JPEG, GIF and PNG are supported in Jira Could REST API and also BMP and WBMP for Data Center, so we can decide which it is ourselves.

I updated the description to be clearer on what are the problems in the current implementation and why this solution covers all the use cases we can support. |

The magic package for libmagic support has many different implementations that conflict with each other and I believe do not work on Windows.
The fallback attempt to use
mimetypeson atempfiledoes not work because on Linux the temporary file is created withO_TMPFILEand the filenameis integer for the file descriptor. On Windows it works no better because it relies on the file name extension and a temporary file does not have an extension set based on the content.For the avatar only JPEG, GIF and PNG are supported in Jira Could REST API and also BMP and WBMP for Data Center. Because we have only these types to recognize, it is easier for us to decide which it is ourselves than using a dependency.
This replaces solutions in #1847 #1867, #1891 and closes #1801 which should have been closed already.
