Arjen Poutsma 6d9136013e Refactor MimeType/MediaType specificity
This commit makes several changes to MimeType and MediaType
related to the topic of specificity.

This commit deprecates the MimeType and MediaType Comparators.
Comparators require a transitive relationship, and the desired order for
these types is not transitive (see #27488).

Instead, this commit introduces two new MimeType methods: isMoreSpecific
and isLessSpecific, both of which return booleans. MediaType overrides
these methods to include the quality factor (q) in the comparison.

All MediaType sorting methods have been deprecated in favor of
MimeTypeUtils::sortBySpecificity.  This sorting method now uses
MimeType::isLessSpecific in combination a bubble sort algorithm (which
does not require a transitive compare function).

Closes gh-27580
