Example file from Writer with many file types dropped into

Since bug #135669 was fixed, it is possible to drag and drop more file types
from Windows file explorer to Writer. The resulting object is inconsistent
between file types (document, spreadsheet, presentation) and depends on the
dragged files format.
It would be useful to make the default behavior consistent (independent of file
format) and configurable on the UI by document types.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open attached file (made in 7.1.0) to see the drag and drop results. The
source files used are the contents of attachment 167259 and a PDF

Actual results:
For text files, RTF, ODT and DOC get inserted as new section, DOCX as OLE
document.
For spreadsheet files, ODS is not inserted at all, XLS is inserted as OLE icon
and XLSX as OLE document.
For presentations ODP is not inserted at all, PPT and PPTX are inserted as
embedded document.
For PDF, it gets inserted as OLE document.

Expected results:
All text / spreadsheet / presentation files are inserted the same way, which is
configurable with config keys at least (maybe also with Options dialog):
- For documents, it should be possible to choose between section / OLE icon /
OLE document. (I’m not a fan of section, but it’s okay to keep for historic
reasons).
- For spreadsheets, it should be possible to choose between OLE icon / OLE
document.
- For presentations, it should be possible to choose between OLE icon / OLE
document.
- For PDF documents, it should be possible to choose between OLE icon / OLE
document.

For comparison, Word 2019 drag and drops everything – except ODF files – as OLE
icon. I guess our users would prefer Writer behaving the same way, so that’s
why I’m asking.
