[File] MSOOXML-based Visio documents

Hi all;

Since its 2013 release, Visio has included an MSOOXML-flavoured version of the file format.  

Since I'm running on a cherry-picked version of msooxml, from the Magdir source tree (for folding into my CentOS-7 /etc/magic), I thought I'd update to include recognition of these Visio files.

Take it if you want it (two additional lines at approx. line 21 -- should be pretty obvious)...

# .docx, .pptx, and .xlsx are XML plus other files inside a ZIP
#   archive.  The first member file is normally "[Content_Types].xml".
#   but some libreoffice generated files put this later. Perhaps skip
#   the "[Content_Types].xml" test?
# Since MSOOXML doesn't have anything like the uncompressed "mimetype"
#   file of ePub or OpenDocument, we'll have to scan for a filename
#   which can distinguish between the three types
