Title:
  icon-theme.cache gets detected incorrectly

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: shared-mime-info

  icon caches (created by gtk-update-icon-cache) are currently detected as application/x-font-ttf by the pattern
  freedesktop.org.xml:5706 <match value="\000\001\000\000\000" type="string" offset="0"/>

  imho this pattern is much to simple and should be removed/expanded
  (icon cashes happen to match this pattern because their header
  contains the version number 1.0.12 with 16bit-ints for each part).

  icon cache files could be detected by
  <glob pattern="*.cache"/>
  or even
  <treematch type="file" path="icon-theme.cache" match-case="true"/>
  as this name seems to be canonical.
