Make Dataverse Previewers support more media types

[philippconzett]

As a potential dataset downloader, I'd like to be able to preview more media types, in particular the following ones:

image/tiff
audio/flac
text/markdown
text/semicolon-separated-values

Note on text/semicolon-separated-values:
When testing in the Harvard Demo Dataverse, semicolon-separated .csv files are not ingested and previewed. Semicolon-separated .txt files are not ingested, but previewed as plain text files. See this test dataset:
https://demo.dataverse.org/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.70122/FK2/H0U0FQ

Do you want the markdown rendered or just displayed as text? The latter should be trivial

Yes, that would be good. If it at a later stage will be possible to be displayed as Markdown, that would be even better :)

For Markdown, perhaps something like marked could be used for rendering?

I did a quick test, and Markdown files should work as-is in the text previewer (but are not rendered), e.g.:

It would be cool so have some sort of toggle to switch between raw text and rendered HTML but this is a great start!
