    Add support for restoring XZ compressed disk images · 67c7e1dd

    Also include [1] MIME types for disk images, e.g. introduce
    
     application/x-raw-disk-image
     application/x-raw-disk-image-xz-compressed
    
    Also add a new desktop file for a "Disk Image Writer" application that
    associates these mime-types to the command
    
     gnome-disks --restore-disk-image %U
    
    to allow the end user to very easily copy a disk image to a device
    from either his desktop shell or web browser. This feature is useful
    for OS vendors distributing e.g. "rescue images".
    
    [1] : Eventually these mimetypes should be part of the standard
    shared-mime-info distribution from freedesktop.org, see
    
     https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64845
    
    
    
    for these. Until that happens, we'll just ship them as part of
    gnome-disk-utility.
