bug#21598: 24.5; Auto-revert-mode loads images as text

[Matthias Redies]

description:
This is how I reproduce the Bug:
1. open image C-x C-f and select "output.png". This will display the 
image as an image as it should.
2. change Image using an external program. This causes the
auto-revert-mode to reload the image(good), but as a text, although my
default (as in 1.) is to open the picture as an image

This forces me to redo C-x C-f, which makes auto-revert-mode pointless.
