feat(settings): Added Default Apps page to settings (#2416)

* feat(settings): Added Default Apps page to settings Added a new page to settings. This page relies on xdg-mime and gio, so their existence is checked to show the page. This logic and the mime type stuff was added to DesktopService.qml. Slightly reordered the settings sidebar to include an Applications category * fix(settings): read xdg-terminals.list directly read the file directly instead of using xdg-terminal-exec which might not be installed
