Seems we already feed file:// URIs to the function, e.g. for ` 
file:///usr/local/share/doc/geany/html/index.html`. So at least `file://` must 
be supported, although without the change we explicitly opened the configured 
browser, and now we rely on GTK do find the right "browser".

I hesitate to limit the inputs the function accepts. Webdevelopment plugins may 
want this function to open arbitrary stuff in the browser.

If anything, we might limit to `https://`, `http://` and `file://` but then we 
might exclude fancy webapps that some plugins could use (they could use 
`gtk_show_uri_on_window()` directly but lets help them to work on windows as 
well).

And then,  on Windows we also do a generic `open`, the `browser_cmd` 
configuration is not a thing there.

Long story shot: I leave this as-is until problems arise
