Subject: [PATCH 05/16] xdg-open: handle file://localhost/

Presently, file://localhost/ URLs are totally unsupported: is_file_url_or_path
correctly considers them files, but they are undecoded and hence
check_input_file fails.

While the standardization surrounding file: URLs is admittedly vague [1], AFAIK,
*all* literature, and other implementations, unambiguously demonstrate that
file://localhost/ should be equivalent to file:///:

- The "File URI specification" explicitly linked to from the xdg-utils homepage [2]
- RFC 8089 section 1.1
- RFC 1738 section 3.10
- Observed implementations of Windows `start`, macOS `open`, Firefox, Chrome, IE

Fix this by adding some simple carve-outs for file://localhost specifically in
file_url_to_path.
