[cgiapp] using run mode names to provide file name extensions

[Mark Stosberg <suppressed>]

I'm generating a ".zip" file through CGI::App today.

Because I send the "application/zip" mime type with it, it opens in 
The Ark decompression tool on my Linux desktop automatically.

But Ark is a little confused. It wants to confirm if the non-standard
extension is correct. This happens because My URL ends like this:

/script.cgi/zip_file_download

I want to avoid this nagging. 

So I add this run mode mapping:

 $self->run_modes( 'download.zip' => 'zip_file_download' );

Now the run mode is named "download.zip", and Ark is happy.

This is one thing that "AutoRunmode"  can't help you with, since having
a dot in a subroutine name is not valid.
