[file] Improve file(1) util to support modern Linux and MacOS binary db #144

@jgarzik

Description

@jgarzik

Modern Linux and BSD (MacOS) version of file(1) use a binary database as the source of varied file type/format data.

The current posixutils version of file is POSIX compliant, supporting the text input format, but does not do anything useful on modern OS.

Goal: Extend file to support Linux and BSD binary file format databases.

Some early work can be found in PR #86.
