[Bug 1878617] [NEW] Apple pages file type should be added to MIME types

[David D Lowe]

Public bug reported:

LibreOffice can open .pages files (from Apple pages). However, the mime
type for these files is incorrectly just application/zip:

$ file --mime-type example.pages
example.pages: application/zip

Instead, it should be application/vnd.apple.pages .

This would allow the user to associate LibreOffice Writer with these
types of files, and use it to open this file. (LibreOffice Writer can
open .pages files)

Apple Keynote files should have this MIME type:
application/vnd.apple.keynote

Apple Numbers files should have this MIME type:
application/vnd.apple.numbers
