update to MIMETypeRegistry.cpp to exclude RSS MIME type handling (take 3)

Updated the patch which hopefully addresses feedback from Benjamin Poulain.

> The change looks invalid anyway. The mimetypes text/xml and application/xml are perfectly valide types for WebKit.

They are valid MIME types for WebKit but in Qt WebKit specifically they are handled by displaying the contents on the screen which is not the desired handling of those types.

Regarding the lack of test cases, I'm not sure if there is an easy way to show the Qt WebKit browser's handling of these MIME types on a browser other than Symbian Qt WebKit browser--which is not available outside of Nokia as far as I know.  One test site that contains feed based MIME types is http://w.feedzilla.com/gallery.  If you click on one of the feed links, you get a new screen with the raw xml content for that feed when opened from the Qt WebKit based browser.  Other browsers such as Safari and Firefox will handle the feed content appropriately in that feeds subscription and feed viewing options are presented.
