[KRun] when asked to open link in external browser, fall back to mimeapps.list if nothing is set in kdeglobals Summary: Right now, when KRun is invoked to open an `http` or `https` link in a browser, it checks the `BrowserApplication` key in `~/.config/kdeglobals`. If nothing is set there (which is the default), then it introspects the link and figures out for itself what app to open, which is slow and can cause problems with certain links (see CCBUGs below). This patch improves the browser discovery logic by additionally looking for a default browser in `~/.config/mimeapps.list`, which is the XDG file and it's where browsers set themselves as the default. So if there is a default browser set in there, KRun will consume that information immediately instead of doing the time-consuming and possibly error-inducing link introspection round-trip. CCBUG: 347870 CCBUG: 100016 Test Plan: 1. Open System Settings > Applications > Default Applications > Browser and click "In an application based on the contents of the url" (which is the default setting, but you might have changed it) 2. Set `BrowserApplication[$e]=` in `~/.config/kdeglobals` 3. Ensure that `~/.config/mimeapps/list` has a default browser set 4. Open any KDE app > Help menu > About KDE > Click on one of the links in the dialog Without this patch, a KRun job is spawned that shows up in the notification widget and the link may take a second or two to open in your default browser. With this patch, the link instantly opens in the browser.
