Attachments:	Add multiple argument support to xdg-open xdg-open: remove documentation for unused exit code

Add multiple argument support to xdg-open

Attached, a patch against current git to extend xdg-open to support multiple command-line arguments.

Some use cases (e.g. Emacs's dired launcher) assume a command that can launch multiple files/URLs at once.

In case of error, the first error is returned, but xdg-open continues to process the rest of its arguments.

I also attach a related patch that removes documentation of error code 3 (one of the files passed on the command line does not exist), which is never used by xdg-open.
