[Lilypond-auto] [LilyIssues-auto] [testlilyissues:issues] #5334 Use system* instead of system when invoking browser

[Auto mailings of changes to Lily Issues via Testlilyissues-auto]

This actually concerns a different problem than the one fixed in the referenced patch: when an uri is given to lilypond-invoke-editor.scm that isn't actually a textedit URI, the program tries calling a web browser instead. Both manners of trying to do that (depending on whether BROWSER is defined or not) look seriously broken. It may be saner to just output an error message and exit with a non-zero exit code.

Is there any expectation of lilypond-invoke-editor.scm ever getting called with anything except a textedit URI?

I have just uploaded a fix to Debian which switches to using system* instead of system:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/lilypond/commit/788b56e4b7f62637481af65b4b2929649c30fe78

Not sure if this is cross-platform enough, but it solves the issue for systems with a working system* call.
