Noticed this omission while working with xltx-files, figured I might as well fix it.

I used this list of Excel's supported file extensions.

I know this has been open for a while, but as long as it's not merged, it's never too late for a review, I guess.

The .xlw and .xlr format are depreciated and rarely used, so they should probably be ommitted.

Most of these formats are rarely used, why would that be a reason to not give them an icon?

The main reason to remove them imo is still that they are depreciated. You can't even save to those 2 formats with the modern version of Excel unlike for all the others.

The fact that these 2 are extremely rare is just the cherry on top.

For the record, I would not say that xlsm, xlsb, xla and xlam are "obscure" as long as one is familiar with VBA. And considering that the VBA extensions for VS Code have a non-negligible amount of downloads, I'm sure there is enough VBA devs using VS Code to justify having those icons added.
