Summary: test_urllib2 and test_mimetypes = failure

Initial Comment:
Logging here because I don't have time to look into it
at the moment. On Linux at least, 
"regrtest test_urllib2 test_mimetypes" will fail,
because the mimetypes module's global dictionaries get
modified by urllib2. The proper fix is to probably edit
test_mimetypes to remove the assumptions that it knows
what's in the mimetypes dictionary.

Fixed in 43688 (trunk) and 43689 (release24-maint)

I moved the default setting into a new function, and made
test_mimetypes call that to reset things to a known state.
module level global dictionaries suck. :-(
