Fix opening of mailto: links

This code path is used for opening both http/s and mailto links. On

macOS, open is used generically handling both nicely. On Linux,

x-www-browser was used for both, meaning it would attempt to open mailto

links with the browser. This -does- work but is clunky. On my system, my

defaults are Firefox for web and mutt for email, so if I clicked a

mailto, Firefox would open (slow!) just to go out of focus as it opens

mutt.

Let's just mirror the macOS behaviour and use xdg-open for both kinds of

links. Then the browser will be used for http/s and the mail client for

mailto and everyone's happy.
