Sometimes, e.g. when xdg-open has to start the browser, the xdg-open
process can stay around until the browser exits, which freezes the
client. Instead, we should not wait for xdg-open to exit.
However, we can't simply not call wait, as that would leave the
xdg-open process around as a zombie. We could turn off the SIGCHLD
handler, but that's a global solution to a local problem. Instead, we
call setsid and fork again to detach the xdg-open process as if it's a
daemon, and let init take care of the reaping process.

This is currently only implemented for Linux.
On Windows, ShellExecute should be used, but that should be done when it's
actually needed so it could be tested.
