Support the attribute "type" in Internet Explorer

Currently you must use the classid for the <object> element:
<object classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921"></object>

The attached registry keys allows to use the MIME Type "x-vlc-plugin"
for the <object> element, like the <embed> element, too:
<object type="application/x-vlc-plugin"></object>

In addition this patch allows to use the <embed> element in Internet
Explorer.
