Provide support for HEIC attachment types captured when Maximo Mobile is used on a browser on a Mobile device

Maximo Mobile can be accessed on a browser on Mobile devices. It's common for the Service Request functionality especially to be used on a browser on a tablet. A user may use an iPad to take an image and attach it to the SR. This image may have a file type of HEIC. This image can't be opened and viewed in Maximo.

    It's low-effort for us to allow the file type, but then you'll end up with many attachments in Maximo that you can't view on a desktop because the browsers themselves to not support HEIC. There is a system setting on devices to auto-convert all HEIC files to JPG in iOS settings, and this is our recommendation for the forseeable future:

    Even when HEIC is added as a acceptable file type(system property mxe.doclink.doctypes.allowedFileExtensions) we have to change the system property mxe.doclink.defaultPrintDocWithReport to change default value of printing attached document with report if printable type to false. So it is basically an inert file that can’t be viewed or printed.
