QXmlEdit.desktop: MimeType += application/xml

[lbellonda]

application/xml is automatically inserted by KDE on SuSE. Adding the MIME type causes the existence of two identical lines in the property panel of .desktop file.
The tested configuration is:
MimeType=text/xml;application/xml;

In fact the terms are synonymous per rfc7303 (par. 9.2 text/xml Registration)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_and_MIME

I think to leave the configuration as it is now. What do you think?

I tested this on my Fedora 32.
Removing application/xml from mime types does nothing bad.
BUT - in "Open with..." dialog of file manager (pcmanfm-qt) QXmlEdit stands in 2nd place after Geany (agains 1st place with "application/xml" in QXmlEdit.desktop).
So double clicking on xml file opens it in Geany.
Problem is that Geany has "application/xml" (and has no "text/xml") in mime types.

So, maybe good choice will be to replace text/xml with application/xml.
Requires testing.

Another way - to use desktop-file-install instead of dumb copying of *.desktop.
