update to MIMETypeRegistry.cpp to exclude RSS MIME types handling

For QT based Webkit, the handling of RSS MIME type content is presented as displaying the xml content on the browser's screen.  For the Symbian/QT based Browser to subscribe to a feed, we need Webkit to not handle feed based content in order to process it as a feed subscription.  Therefore, I've attached a proposed patch to Webkit to remedy this problem by removing the feed based MIME types from being handled in Webkit for only QT based platforms.

Other attempts at solving this problem were made but proved unsuccessful.  It was not possible to find a solution where QT based Webkit would not handle the feed based content and display the contents on the browser screen.  Since this was not the targeted functionality we were left with this proposed patch.
