mailcap: Add entry for text/plain

In NixOS 20.09, alot was updated to version 0.9.1. Since alot 0.9.1 it is possible to specify a mailcap for text/plain. This was delegating it to xdg-open, which in turns delegates it to nvim. which probably tried to take control of the tty and crashed alot (see pazz/alot#1544). This adds an explicit entry for text/plain. Mind that the order in which alot matches this file seems to be important. This is probably a bug, but fixed here as a workaround.
