Added StarOffice/OpenOffice.org File Formats to mime.types

OpenOffice.org and its commercial sibling StarOffice were the most popular
cross-platform office alternative for quite a few years, running on *NIX,
Windows, Linux and other OS-es. They were the predecessor to popular open
source office suites such as Apache Open Office, LibreOffice, NeoOffice and
Lotus Symphony - with many millions of users around the world.

This patch adds the family of file formats from those applications to the
mimetypes recognised by Nginx. Apache has had these exact same mimetypes in
their mimetype catalog for many years, as do other webservers like Lighttpd.

The use case is simple: people migrating their static website from
another webserver that did support these mime types results in broken
user experience. Including these file formats is a service to those
individuals and organisations around the world that together still have many
archives online containing legacy StarOffice/OpenOffice.org files (note that
quite a few other filetypes concern legacy file formats such as RealAudio, Word
and RTF). The mimetypes suggested are officially registered at IANA.
