User supplied parsers should be preferred
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: TIKA-841
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-841
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 1.0
            Reporter: Nick Burch


Currently, user supplied Detectors are preferred over built in ones, via logic 
in DefaultDetector. This allows users to easily add their own detectors which 
are used in preference, as well as making it easy to override the built in ones.

However, there is no such logic for Parsers. Instead, the last parser in the 
DefaultParser / CompositeParser list for a given mimetype will be used (the map 
only holds one entry, so last in wins). This makes it hard for users to 
override the parser for a type that the builtin parsers support, as it isn't 
predictable where in the list parsers will go
