Add support for AppImage

AppImages are both executables and ISO images and can be handled by
libarchive. Support for opening AppImages was enabled in the
libarchiveplugin. The mimetype for AppImage has been committed to
shared-mime-info, but has not yet been released. We therefore install a
custom mimetype for AppImage.

Test cases for this mimetype were added to MimeTypeTest and ArchiveTest.
FIXED-IN: 16.08.0
Differential Revision: D2226

Verified that Ark it can open AppImages now. As a side effect, when downloading AppImages on a KDE system, the default action for it is to be opened in Ark... might be good or bad depending on how you see it.

Note that now we also have the type 2 image format.

I filled an issue for engrampa https://github.com/mate-desktop/engrampa/issues/237

EDIT: and correct your table. You can't mount it with disk image mounter. EDIT2: and ubuntu MATE also uses gnome-disk-image-mounter
