Plugins: Fix that mimetype definition was not valid JSON

JSON officially does not support multiline strings, so we should use
the same mechanism that we already use for the plugin description
(i.e. additionally support arrays of strings which are interpreted
as lines).
This just happens to work because Qt's JSON parser eats it without
choking.
