impr: Added MIME types for project files on UNIX systems (#1980)

### Problem description
<!-- Describe the bug that you fixed/feature request that you
implemented, or link to an existing issue describing it -->
This PR addresses issue #491 regarding the inability to open ImHex
project files (`.hexproj`) directly from various UNIX Desktop
Environments.
_NB: This PR's scope is limited to UNIX systems, as I have no access to
MacOS systems and could not find a way to automatically create file
associations on Windows._
### Implementation description
<!-- Explain what you did to correct the problem -->
In order for project files to be recognised as such, we need to create a
new MIME type. According to [RFC 6838 section
3.2](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6838#section-3.2), additional
application MIME types should be defined with a vendor prefix.
_NB: This is preferred over the deprecated `x-` prefix, although RFC
6838 states that the vendor should be "a well known producer"_
This PR proposes a new mime type for ImHex project files:
`application/vnd.imhex.proj`, and associates it with the file format
`*.hexproj`.
It also implements small changes in the Arch Linux and RPM builds, in
order to correctly ship the MIME XML file during installation.
### Additional things
<!-- Anything else you would like to say -->
The implemented change has been manually tested in the following UNIX
systems and graphical environments:
- Arch Linux, with Gnome 47.2
- Arch Linux, with XFCE4
- Fedora 41 Workstation Edition, with Gnome 47.0
- Fedora 41 Plasma, with KDE Plasma 24.08.2
- Ubuntu 22.04.5, with Gnome 42.9
Which tests the functionality of the following build types:
- Arch Linux's `.zst` packages
- Debian `.deb` packages
- RPM packages
For Arch Linux and RPM packages, this has been tested to ensure that
post-installation hooks (such as regeneration of the MIME database) is
correctly executed (which it is). No further changes than those
implemented in the PR are needed.
