[File] Support for the Commodore Amiga

[Cameron Armstrong]

Thanks!

Can you please merge this change I just made to upstream too?

Basically the file app had a bug locating the magic database file if installed in the default location

Hi

I have added support to file/magic for Motorola 68k and PPC AmigaOS, and MorphOS. It also includes a script for building and packaging all versions of them into a single .lha archive suitable for publishing to Aminet (aminet.net)

Here is an image of it running in AmigaOS 3

Thanks so much! I did this work because my Amiga app for chatting to AI called AmigaGPT required me to use libmagic.a to determine the file type of any file you want to send to the AI.
