[PATCH] org.el: Use `call-process' to launch external viewers (was: Re:
[BUG] org-open-file immediately termininates when calling xdg-open that
calls emacsclient).

Comments should be updated.
The question is which way switching to `call-process' may affect macOS
and Windows users. (I am in doubts if anybody opens file from Org while
using DOS.) Are there Windows users who have something besides
system/default in `org-file-apps'? Certainly error handling becomes
completely impossible.
`browse-url-default-macosx-browser' and `shell-command-do-open' use
`start-process' on macOS. We may define a new function to spawn xdg-open
using `call-process' and leave current approach for other commands.
In addition, I have noticed `browse-url-process-environment' that may be
useful for `org-open-file' as well. The question here is why
`browse-url' has another code related to environment.
Ideally, there should be a native method to launch file viewer similar
to URL handler recently added in

Make browser windows pop up when browsing URLs on Wayland

Comment to the commit says that it is necessary for support of
xdg-activation Wayland protocol. Otherwise viewer may be silently
started behind Emacs frame.
The main question is effect of the patch on macOS, other complications
may be postponed.
