Proposal for .cabal extension

Instead of building normal executable, we would mark it type-provider:

type-provider ExcelTypeProvider.hs
  mime-types: text/plain
  glob: *.xlsx

It can either have a list of glob patterns for matching file and directory names, or have mime-types for matching MIME type (warning: MIME type matching may work differently on different operating systems!).

(Could you elaborate on this one @mgajda ?)
