Add NuGet package support
NuGet packages (commonly with file extension .nupkg) are used by .NET to transport libraries, similar to jar files. NuGet packages are essentially zip files with some expected contents. A mininial library looks like this: $ unzip -l ClassLibrary.0.0.1.nupkg Archive: ClassLibrary.0.0.1.nupkg Length Date Time Name --------- ---------- ----- ---- 502 04-14-2025 18:14 _rels/.rels 407 04-14-2025 18:14 ClassLibrary.nuspec 3584 04-14-2025 22:14 lib/net8.0/ClassLibrary.dll 459 04-14-2025 18:14 [Content_Types].xml 625 04-14-2025 18:14 package/services/metadata/core-properties/b44ebb537bbf4983b9527f9e3820fda6.psmdcp --------- ------- Some of these content are similar to the contents of a Microsoft OOXML file, and `file` utility doesn't recognize this correctly.
