And this is now done in the attached patch.

Before I go about writing NEWS and updating the manual, what do you
think about the attached instead?  I think the variable
yank-media-preferred-types gives a more granular control for major-mode
authors than (add-function (local 'yank-media-autoselect-function) ...)

I know that I have to update the Info node (info "(elisp) Yanking
Media").  Does (info "(emacs) Clipboard") need any update too?
