R226:4009b1763afe: Set MimeType so that Konqueror appears in Default Applications
Summary

The default applications chooser (kcmshell5 componentchooser) queries available web browsers by looking for

'WebBrowser' in Categories and ('x-scheme-handler/http' in ServiceTypes or 'x-scheme-handler/https' in ServiceTypes)

in CfgBrowser::load(KConfig *) in plasma-desktop/kcms/componentchooser/componentchooserbrowser.cpp

This change sets the MimeType in Konqueror's desktop file so that it will be recognised by that query.

Test Plan

Run 'kcmshell5 componentchooser' with the original desktop file installed.
Note that Konqueror does not appear in the combo box for selecting a web browser.

Install the modified desktop file, run 'kbuildsyscoca5' and then 'kcmshell5 componentchooser' again.
Observe that Konqueror is now shown in the web browser combo box, and can be selected and set as the default browser.

Needs %U in Exec= line to handle URLs directly and to not download temporary files.

This was supposed to be done by kfmclient_html.desktop instead, so that you don't get a new konqueror process every time you open a URL.
It's just that kfmclient_html.desktop is missing the x-scheme-handler/http[s] mimetypes.

Apply the fix to kfmclient_html.desktop as advised.
