Motivation for this change

Installing this package conflicts with environments where the mime
database and the desktop database are already present.

Plus, there is no reason for a single package to generate such
databases. I guess the reason this is in the build system is to help dev
installing correctly the app in their (mutable) system.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Yes @layus you are correct in that these databases shouldn't be generated inside these types
of packages.
