[Bug 111032]

[Nate-b]

Ok, what I think makes sense is to fall back on KIO when there are no
web browsers installed (unlikely). When one is manually installed, it
will usually set itself as the default--but in ~/.config/mimeapps.list,
not ~/.config/kdeglobals. Which is fine, since changing the browser
setting in componentchooser updates mimeapps.list too so that don't get
out of sync.

It will be up to distros to pre-populate these files with their desired
default browsers, but that's already the case, so no regressions should
be introduced. I'll also change the componentchooser KCM so that the
default browser shown in the combobox is identical to what's listed in
~/.config/mimeapps.list if there's nothing in kdeglobals.

Here are the patches:
- KIO: https://phabricator.kde.org/D17371
- Plasma: https://phabricator.kde.org/D17372
