fix
Even if $BROWSER is set, still prioritizes `xdg-mime query default
x-scheme-handler/<schemetype>`.
Version:
```
$ xdg-open --version
xdg-open 1.1.2
```
Steps to Reproduce:
```
$ BROWSER=echo xdg-open "<a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/</a>"
```
Actual Behavior:
opens given URL in default web browser (mine is firefox)
Expected Behavior:
run $BROWSER <url>, in this case `echo <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/</a>`
if $BROWSER not found, fallback to xdg-mime defaults
I've found a hackish workaround for the time being:
```
$ DISPLAY="" BROWSER=echo xdg-open "<a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/</a>"
<a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/</a>
```
I'm attaching a patch for the reordering of priorities to fix this
Thanks,
