xdg-mime: actually handle lists in mimeapps.list correctly

yan12125 requested to merge (removed):xdg-mime-fix-44163 into master

The issue was raised in [1]. The earlier fix [2] makes xdg-mime always pick the first item from a list, and that differs from the standard [3].

If the application is no longer installed, the next application in the list is attempted, and so on.

A latter fix [4] implements the standard-compliant behavior, while it does not actually work until [2] is reverted.
