OpenUrlJob: handle all text scripts consistently
Previously we only handled application/x-shellscript, but there are other
scripts; a script is technically a file that inherits both text/plain and
application/x-executable, e.g. .sh, .csh, .py, perl scripts ...etc. Treat
all those mime types the way we handled shell scripts:
- if it's not a local url, or isn't executable we open it in the preferred
text editor
- if it's executable either show the OpenOrExecute dialog or execute
directly depending on how the job is configured
The mimetype world is a confusing one:
- Executables, this includes .exe files (MS Windows); and "application/x-executable"
and "application/x-sharedlib", this depends on various parameters (e.g.
stripped executables are x-sharedlib, the same executable if not stripped
is x-executable...)
- Scripts: shell, python, perl... etc scripts, which are text files that
can be executed or opened as text.
Adjust the unit test.

Created attachment 130746 [details] Screenshot of error message (with host name blanked out) SUMMARY Dolphin refuses to open a non-executable .py file located in an SFTP folder when one clicks on the file. (To clarify, I expect it to be opened in Kate, not executed.) Text files with other extensions (.txt, for example) can be opened without any problems. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In settings > configure Dolphin > confirmations, select 'Open in application' 2. Open an SFTP folder in dolphin 3. Click a .py file to open it 4. Right click on the .py file and select 'open with Kate' OBSERVED RESULT After step 3, Dolphin complains that it will not open an executable for safety reasons if it is on a remote filesystem. Right clicking it to open it in Kate (step 4) works. EXPECTED RESULT If the user has asked Dolphin to open executables in a text editor on clicking, the warning observed after step 3 shouldn't be shown, since the file isn't being executed. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0 Kernel Version: 5.7.12-arch1-1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION * I've attached a screenshot of the error message. * Text files with other extensions (like .txt) can be opened by clicking as expected. * The .py file I used doesn't have executable permissions (just 644), so I don't know why dolphin thinks it's executable. * Downgrading `kio` to version 5.72 and restarting Dolphin fixes the issue * I saw that the SFTP part is located in kio-extras, but I'm reporting it here since downgrading `kio` to version 5.72 fixed the issue (I didn't need to downgrade `kio-extras`) * Reproducible on two different remote machines (different servers).
