[TIKA-4724] Use IANA-registered text/markdown as primary type (#2806)
text/markdown has been the IANA-registered media type for Markdown
since RFC 7763 (March 2016). freedesktop's shared-mime-info has used
it as the primary type for years, with text/x-markdown as an alias.
Consumers that fall back to Tika's bundled database when no system
shared-mime-info is installed (e.g. Qt on macOS and Windows) cannot
currently resolve text/markdown and silently drop the type from
filter lists.
Promote text/markdown to the primary type and keep Tika's historical
text/x-web-markdown together with freedesktop's text/x-markdown as
aliases, so existing lookups continue to resolve. Update the comment
to match freedesktop's wording.
