* xdg-mime: allow overrides to shared-mime-info and desktop-file-utils
The `xdg-mime` module now exposes packages to determine what will be run
for update-mime-database and update-desktop-database. This allows users
to select a different version of these packages if the are incompatible.
This should, in combination with an override to the version of
`shared-mime-info` (can be found here notalltim/home-manager-config#4),
resolve#4955, #5102, #4682, and possibly #4941. The problem seems to stem
from a mismatch in the version of `shared-mime-info` with the host.
I also switched from using `buildPackages` to `pkgs` to improve
cross-compilation compatibility.
* xdg-mime: Add tests for xdg-mime module
The xdg-mime module was missing tests so I added basic test for all the
options and checked the basic behavior. It covers ensuring that the
proper files/folders are created and that the package overrides work.
These (and the `*MD` functions apart from `literalMD`) are now no-ops
in nixpkgs and serve no purpose other than to add additional noise and
potentially mislead people into thinking unmarked DocBook documentation
will still be accepted.
Note that if backporting changes including documentation to 23.05,
the `mdDoc` calls will need to be re-added.

This process was automated by [my fork of `nix-doc-munge`]. All
conversions were automatically checked to produce the same DocBook
result when converted back, modulo minor typographical/formatting
differences on the acceptable-to-desirable spectrum.

Before, loading a module would be guarded by an optional platform
condition. This made it possible to avoid loading and evaluating a
module if it did not support the host platform.
Unfortunately, this made it impossible to share a single configuration
between GNU/Linux and Darwin hosts, which some wish to do.
This removes the conditional load and instead inserts host platform
assertions in the modules that are platform specific.
Fixes#1906
Before the profile commands would not run if a single package is
installed since `buildEnv` will produce a symlink directly to that
package. By adding this dummy package we ensure that a real directory
will be generated.
Fixes#1392
This change stops update-mime-database from running unless the
`share/mime/packages` directory is writable. For some reason it
appears to be read-only on WSL1.
Fixes#1192
