bpo-43137: webbrowser: Never invoke gnome-open

smcv · smcv · commit 251ea9cf24ce · 2021-10-22T11:40:57.000+01:00
gnome-open was part of GNOME 2, which was superseded in around 2010 and
is unmaintained. The replacement was gvfs-open, which was subsequently
replaced by gio(1) (as used in the previous commit).
