Add text/x-gherkin

Gherkin is a domain specific language to describe software's behaviour without detailing how that behaviour is implemented: 

https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Gherkin

There is a reference implementation of the Gherkin 3 parser:

Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2016-05-17 14:01:27 UTC 
What can use this format apart from the reference implementation?

Other users are text editors, for example GtkSourceView has this bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705839

There are also other implementations, for example for Vala:
