SUMMARY

Try to send a mail using krunner does suggest anything and thus does not work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have kmail or any other email client setup in kcm componenentchooser
2. type "test@test.com" or "mailto:test@test.com"

OBSERVED RESULT
No completion

EXPECTED RESULT
Completion allowing to open a compose mail to the typed-in address window in the default email client

Documentation at :
https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Krunner#Talk_to_people
Is outdated consequently

Previously the runner location responsible for mailto used kmailservice exec helper helper protocol which was removed : https://cgit.kde.org/kio.git/commit/?id=2e6980e9ba3b91798dad0db9f9d78317b2d7e4a2

We need to use KToolInvocation::invokeMailer or better QDesktopServices::openUrl to implement the feature again.

[Location Runner] Also explicitly look for URL scheme handlers

KProtocolInfo handles only protocols KIO knows but apps can also register to be
a URL scheme handler independently of this.

This patch makes the location runner also query for the preferred URL scheme handler
when no known protocol is found. It also prefers the scheme handler over the helper
protocol since a service has a name.

While at it, also format the protocol "exec" using DesktopExecParser to avoid
showing placeholders like '%u' to the user. Also use PreferLocalFile for "go to".
