Martin Abente Lahaye e8553c13a1 Add skip-install-mime option to bundlebuilder
Historically, distro packagers have been using bunblebuilder, via
"setup.py install", to populate packages directories and files.

The install procedure uses ActivityBundle.install_mime_type to install
custom mime types, by creating symlinks and updating the system mime
types database via the update-mime-database tool.

When ActivityBundle.install_mime_type is executed during packages
creation, the symlinks end-up broken in the final package and the use
of update-mime-database populates the final packages with a new copy
of the database files which could clash with the system copy.

This patch adds a new option, called --skip-install-mime to "setup.py
install" to skip the execution of ActivityBundle.install_mime_type and
avoid the issues mentioned above.

Activity packagers should use this new option. The creation of symlinks
and the execution of update-mime-database should be done in post install
packaging steps.
