Ported from FossifyOrg/Messages#137.

Sometimes Android reports the MIME type as "application/octet-stream" even if the file has a .json extension (specifically, on Android 8 and 9 for backups exported outside the Download folder). Previously, such files could not be selected in the file picker when importing.

As a workaround, allow files with that MIME type on Android < 10.
