Add DocConverter to convert legacy .doc files (pre-Office Open XML format) to Markdown using the antiword command-line tool. This resolves issue microsoft#23 by adding .doc extension support in addition to existing .docx support. Good day. Thank you for your work on this project. I hope this small fix is helpful. Please let me know if there's anything to adjust. Warmly, RoomWithOutRoof
