Summary: Use unix file command table in UnsupportedGuesser

Initial Comment:
The unix file command uses magic numbers to determine file type, and has support for an incredibly large number of files. We could use this information to enable our UnsupportedGuesser to accurately guess all the file types for which we currently have no support. Xena could then become a fully-fledged file identification tool.
