Implements issue microsoft#23 by adding DocConverter to handle legacy .doc format files. Uses unword library for parsing .doc files, which provides faster and more reliable conversion compared to older tools like antiword. Changes: - Add unword>=0.2.2 as optional dependency in pyproject.toml - Create DocConverter class in _doc_converter.py to handle .doc files - Register DocConverter in main MarkItDown class - Add comprehensive tests for DocConverter (4/4 passing) - Support both .doc extension and application/msword MIME type The implementation follows the same pattern as DocxConverter, using unword to parse the binary .doc format and extract text content.
