archive-view should support iWork and Office files as special case of ".zip" #49

Several files are actually just zip archives and can easily be opened by archive-view when adding the .zip file-extension. Well, instead of doing that, may I suggest to support those files directly as a special case of zip archives and allow following extensions as well. I saw the #33 and #34 but you may have over-estimated the work to do, there is nothing more to do because the archive-view already has it all.

By the way there are some more zip archives out there, you may decide to support them as well. The first bytes are "PK.." (hex: 50 4B 03 04), see also the table of file signatures (aka "magic numbers").

Thanks for taking this in consideration.

I would add OpenDocument Format (ODF) files to the list. They are also just zipped XML files.
