windows and cross-platform part: r=ere sr=neil,bz
linux part: r=bz sr=bryner
This adds a new method launchWithFile on nsIMIMEInfo which takes care of opening
the selected (preferred or default) application on the mime info with a
specified document. defaultDescription is now readonly, and defaultApplication
no longer available.
This also removes the clone method which was unused in the entire tree.
course of action, move the "neverAsk" information from prefs back to
mimeTypes.rdf, remove the "Reset" button from helper app prefs, set up a way to
select "use default OS helper" for a given type. Patch by Bill Law
<law@netscape.com> and Philip K. Warren <pkw@us.ibm.com>, r=biesi, sr=bzbarsky,
what passes for moa in helper apps=bzbarsky.
as this code has been reconsolidated in the base class for
all to use. For everyone, if the mime type is unknown or octet,
then try to guess a content type by file extension in doContent.
Also, if we can't find a mime type, create a new one for all platforms
so we don't need to bring up the ucth dialog.

code review will come when this is done and gets turned on.
Landing of the RDF data source which keeps track of all the user specified mime type information.
Landing implementation of user over ride information when determining what helper app to run. now we'll
check the information stored in the data source first. If we don't ahve any over-ride information, then
fall back to the OS defaults.
code review will come when this is done and gets turned on.
Add the ability to launch urls using a OS specified protocol handler for windows. Implement nsIExternalProtocolService.
code review will come when this is done and gets turned on.
Add external application implementation.
Add windows registry sniffying code to find the right external helper application for a given file extension.
Add windows registry code for launching the application.
