1. Update comicbook file extensions …

   cb7, cba, cbr, cbt and cbz all refer to different types of digital
   comicbooks. The last letter of the extension indicates the compression
   algorithm that was used: 7zip, arc, rar, tar or zip.
   
   All these filetypes used to have the `application/x-cbr` MIME type
   assigned to them. However, that has since been deprecated and was
   replaced with
   
   - `application/vnd.comicbook-rar` for rar compressed files and
   - `application/vnd.comicbook+zip` for rar compressed files.
   
   Only these two are officially listed by IANA
   
   https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.comicbook+zip
   
   . cbr and cbz are by far the most common file extensions for comicbooks.
   
   There's no official MIME type for cb7, cba or cbt files. However, with
   rar being a proprietary compression algorithm, FOSS applications will
   often refuse to handle files that identify themselves as
   `application/x-cbr`, so I decided to assign extension specific MIME
   types to them. I've seen these being used by other applications,
   specifically comic book readers.
   
   I've read through the docs on iana.org, but haven't figured out why they
   chose `-rar`, but `+zip`.
   
   This fixes khellang#23.
