Support user agents of PIM clients (calendar, email) and feed readers (RSS, Atom)

[anonymous-matomo-user]

Background: Our website lists events and publishes the events as calendar (iCalendar) and as RSS/Atom feed. We import the webserver logs using the import_logs.py script into Piwik. As user agents of PIM clients (Thunderbird, Out-look) and feed readers are currently not supported the 'browser' and 'browser family' report has a large number of 'unknown'.

My proposed patch adds new user agent expressions to detect some PIM clients and feed readers. Additionally it adds two new browser families (PIM client and Feed reader). I know that this a bit hackish because those clients are not browsers, a more clear approach would be to introduce a new report 'Clients' and 'Client families'.

@seelmann: Could you send me a list of useragents or an apache log file containing those to stefan[at]piwik.org ? I've started to implement feed reader detection to DeviceDetector. Would be good to have a list of common UAs to build up good detections.
(Note: Implementation in Piwik may follow later, maybe within a new plugin)

DeviceDetector 2.0 support PIMs and Feed Readers. Implementation in Piwik will follow...
