[OE-core] [PATCH 00/11] Make MIME work on desktops

[Andreas Müller]

On fresh images file-browsers do not know how to open files and usually open a
dialog with ALL applications available on the machine. This is not what users
are used to when working with linux: For just one application installed per
Mime-Type, the application is opened automatically.

To get a working MIME on desktop it needs two 'databases' on target:

1. Mime-Types: This is handled by mime.bbclass and creates database in
   /usr/share/mime/mime.cache.
2. Mime associations: A simple text-list of pairs Mime-Type <-> application
   in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
   
This patch series updates/implements/enhances both parts to get images work as
expected.

@Khem: This series creates many QA warnings for layers in meta-openembedded and
a patch series fixing many was prepared [1]. Once this series get's applied (or
you ask for it) I can send them out.
