Support opening files in terminal apps #305

Some apps (like neovim) should be started in terminal, indicated by Terminal=true in the corresponding desktop file. Would be nice to have that in cosmic-files.

I would also like to see this

It would be nice to actually support it via a separate crate that properly parses the *.desktop files and mimeapps.list. xdg-open is a mess. I still LMAO over the fact that XDG does not support wildcards, e.g. you can't say video/*=mpv.desktop. With mailcap from 80s you can.
