bug#40247: 27.0.90; mailcap-mime-data erased when parsing mime parts |

Symptoms:
- Start Emacs in a system without ~/.mailcap
- Launch Gnus
- Open an email / news that has some part in text/html
- mailcap-mime-data is erased and none of the default viewers are
available any more.
The problem persits if Emacs is customized using mailcap-add
Moreover, this deletion happens every time a mime part is decoded,
because, as shown in this commit
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/lisp/net/mailcap.el?h=emacs-27&id=a5a967b43dd2810635d7a06ea70510c4a8e5c10f
mailcap-mime-info involes mailcap-parse-mailcaps with "force" set to T
every time Emacs tries to compute the list of viewers associated to a
mime part -- does not matter whether the part is displayed inline or
externally; the mere visualization of the email causes mailcap-mime-data
to be erased.
This bug breaks systems that do not rely on .mailcap for defining
external viewers. In particular, it breaks systems that require
pdf-tools or doc-view to view certain attachments. It also deletes
Emacs' traditional association list betwee mime types and actions.
