Ivailo Monev 65bedeae01 kdeui: return a single format type from KImageIO::typeForMime() and add mode argument for it
because it returns only one (definitive) format type using QStringList as
return type makes no sense, also a mode argument is very much required to
return correct result - not all image format plugins support writing
