Improve support for "Office Open XML" files (Microsoft Office 2007+)

Description

As per #7110, Plone's MimeTypeRegistry has mime types for these formats, and that works for downloading the files, but Plone 4.0 is missing a few key aspects. For a test .docx file:

  • Indexing support isn't present
  • The mime type description appears as "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document" rather than "Microsoft Word document" as it does on a .doc file.
  • The mime type uses the default "application" icon, rather than a document icon

Products.OpenXML (with small fixes for Plone 4.0) satisfies all of the above issues [indexing, nice descriptions, and icons]. If Plone is aiming to completely support these document types out-of-the box, it should probably have the same set of functionality.
