D17887: Fix detection of .kexi file types after recent change of mime database on Linux for SQLite type (2018-06-17)

  Thanks Pino. Your patch adds some future-proof, I would adapt it. But I yet have to see how the problem is solved without patching of the json file. If I understand correctly if we do not explicitly list "application/vnd.sqlite3" in the JSON, current FD.o master https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/commit/freedesktop.org.xml.in?id=36a88b01f6ae90da35a2f6a072db159c84cea768 resolves "application/vnd.sqlite3" into "application/x-kexiproject-sqlite3" only if we go to parent mime type "application/x-sqlite3" which is alias of real parent "application/vnd.sqlite3". I see that "application/x-kexiproject-sqlite3" has room for improvements. I do not see that we use QMimeType::parentMimeTypes().
  
  So for me the full fix is to work as expected also on such half-configured systems (so all updated Linux systems became problematic). I am going to even go further and fall back to the sqlite3 plugin when mime database gives no hint at all what the file is. At KDb or KEXI level, preferably KEXI level.
  
  Happy new year :)
