xdg-utils.eclass: disable fdatasync() in update-mime-database
This speeds up installation dramatically on slow disks, and may reduce wear on solid state storage. Portage will call 'sync' after installation if FEATURES="merge-sync" is enabled, so the risk should be small. Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/819783 Signed-off-by: Mike Gilbert <floppym@gentoo.org>
