Should not be able to load documents of type .exe #444

Can currently successfully load executable files and other potentially 
malicious files via the document loader. 
Need to prevent loading of known problem extensions and possibly also have a 
preload virus scan of acceptable types (eg. .doc, .xls, and ..x versions of 
these) which support macros.

Simple thing to do now is to support a blacklist (or whitelist) of supported 
extensions.

checking for file extensions added. Virus checking is considerably more work 
and not achievable for 1 st Jan. Something to look into next year. Downgrading 
to Medium for now.
