Add confirmation request before installation modifies my mailcap

[CmdrVasquess]

Describe the bug When I install Codium as deb package on linux codium adds itself to my mailcap file without confirmation.

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

• [X] (AFAIK) This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

• [X] I checked the Docs page and the Troubleshooting page and my issue is not mentioned there.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the deb package of VSCodium to a linux with or without codium installation using dpkg
2. grep /etc/mailcap for codium
3. Find 4 entries that add codium as handler for x-scheme-handler/vscodium, text/plain, inode/directory and application/x-codium-workspac

Expected behavior I do not understand why an IDE should be a default handler for EMail – especially not for content types: text/plain, inode/directory If there is any good reason for this, I suggest asking the user to confirm the modification of mailcap.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Linux 6.1.0-22-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.94-1 (2024-06-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Debian package
