Bug#788325: easytag: Don't register as default handler for directories

[James Cowgill]

Hi,

This bug has been reported a few times upstream.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694358
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726092
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/easytag-list/2014-March/msg00006.html

The argument against changing it was that easytag can infact handle the
inode/directory MIME type properly so it should be allowed to have it
in it's MimeTypes list.

On balance (due to the issues it causes) I would probably lean towards
removing it, which I see has already been done in git.

David?
