WPL playlist not in registered list of file types supported by VLC on Windows

OS: Windows 10

VLC version: current version 3.0.7.1 and earlier on Windows

The problem: When an app/program is installed on a Windows 10 system, it can register with the OS what types of files it can support. This list is used when the User wants to see or change file type associations with programs. In windows he can go to Settings>Apps>Default Apps>Set default apps by app. If he chooses VLC, he sees all the types VLC says it can handle, and what program is currently handling each type. The problem is that VLC does not tell Windows to put WPL in this list. This is despite the fact that VLC has had a module to read WPL for 10 years, and that every other type of similarly supported playlist type is in this list.

Impact of problem: 1) The uninformed new user thinks WPL files aren’t supported and gives up and finds another player. [Or worse, wastes a lot of effort converting WPLs to M3Us, as one user in the forum did]. 2) The knowledgeable user has to figure out some other way of associating WPL with VLC if he wants to do that.

Implementation details: This should be trivial to implement, just add one more file type to the list supported when VLC is installed.
