Add "File>Open..." as a way to open files in their default app.

With this pull request, the user can now open files in the default app associated with that file.

Some filters are provided. These include the following:

Common Office formats (doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, mdb, accdb, pub)
Common Microsoft Word formats (doc, docx)
Common Microsoft Excel formats (xls, xlsx)
Common Microsoft PowerPoint formats (ppt, pptx)
Common Microsoft Access formats (mdb, accdb)
Common Microsoft Publisher formats (pub)
And an option to show all file formats (.).

Due to using "Process.Start" to open the files (so that they open in their default program), EXE files can be run with this "File>Open..." dialog.

Additionally, RAM usage might increase when clicking "File>Open...", but it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
