Public bug reported:

Now that we've got file_mime_type() working with the PHP fileinfo
library correctly, it has caused a problem. Microsoft Office 2007+
"docx" files are recognized as zip archives by fileinfo!

So when users upload a .docx file into Mahara, they see a ZIP icon, and
they have the option to decompress the archive. Which they should not.
