David Heinemeier HanssonandClaude Opus 5.5 fa729f139c Read the default browser from mimeapps.list when launching (#13520)
* Read the default browser from mimeapps.list when launching

omarchy-launch-browser and omarchy-launch-webapp asked xdg-settings for the
default browser on every launch, ~72ms through several POSIX shell scripts.
The new omarchy-cmd-default-browser reads the http handler from the
config-dir mimeapps.list files the way xdg-mime does, desktop-specific list
first, taking the first listed entry whose command is installed, in ~10ms.
With nothing set there it falls back to xdg-settings as before.

* Let the first copy of a browser entry decide whether it is installed

A user-local entry whose browser is gone could be rescued by a system copy
of the same ID, which the launchers never read. xdg-mime judges the first
copy found, as the launchers use it, so do the same.
