Backport !3160 “GWin32AppInfo: Check for local file path first” to glib-2-74

Philip Withnall requested to merge pwithnall/glib:backport-3160-win32-app-info-glib-2-74 into glib-2-74

When launching a registered handler we compose the command-line string using the registered command-line template. Applications expect files in their command-line as local paths rather than complete URI strings.

For example,

"Program.exe" "%2.58"

Should expand to

"Program.exe" "C:\file.dat"

Rather than

"Program.exe" "file:///C:\file.dat"

Fixes #2843 (closed)

Trivial backport of !3160 (merged) to glib-2-74.
