Patch that enables xdg-open to handle non-file URIs

xdg-open currently ignores any URIs passed to it that are not paths to local
files (file://). There is already an established method for finding the MIME
type of such URIs, namely "x-scheme-handler/$scheme" where $scheme is the
scheme of the URI.

Attached is a patch that makes xdg-open handle URIs with any scheme by
constructing the MIME type string as above, and then calling xdg-mime query
default to find an application that can handle the given URI.

Cheers,
Jon Gjengset
