REVISION SUMMARY
  This commit allows user to create new empty files from filesystem
  browser plugin. Filenames without extension are supported.
  
  Menu items which produce such files were missing from Create New menu.
  This is due to the way MIME type filter was configured. The filter
  included files of type text/plain. However, empty files without
  extension, for example, an empty file named "empty", do not belong to
  class text/plain.
  
  Both kmimetypefinder5 and xdg-mime utilities classify such a file as
  application/x-zerosize. According to the current Shared MIME-Info
  database, application/x-zerosize MIME type is not a subclass of type
  text/plain, see
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/blob/58bee0a8b52f4ced82c3ac227e688e24dc4259bf/freedesktop.org.xml.in#L3966.
  
  This commit extends the filter accordingly.
