Try to fix mailcap parsing again to respect Emacs defaults

* lisp/net/mailcap.el (mailcap--computed-mime-data): New variable.
(mailcap-parse-mailcaps): Don't delete Emacs-distributed fallback
values (bug#40247).
(mailcap-add-mailcap-entry): Extend to allow working on different
variables.
(mailcap-add): Store data in mailcap-user-mime-data, since it
should be heeded first.
