Allowing the .zip files to be detected by file extension (Bug #1302251)

A number of filetypes are being detected as a zip file, due to them
having compression.

To sort this out we will let the file extension be checked first then
fall back to checking magic.mgc.

Bug description:
  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.
