steam-runtime-urlopen improvements

Simon McVittie requested to merge wip/smcv/urlopen into master

  • Move pv_boolean_environment into library code

    We wrote this, so it's fine to relicense it more permissively, from LGPL to MIT.

  • urlopen: Comment why we always special-case steam: and steamlink: URLs

  • urlopen: Use a separate variable for the error from steam.pipe

  • urlopen: Move all error-handling to the end

    In cases where we tried both steam.pipe and xdg-desktop-portal, this lets us show both their errors, instead of only the most recent.

  • urlopen: Allow steam.pipe to be tried either before or after x-d-p

    In situations where Steam is providing the whole UI, such as Steam Deck and Big Picture mode, we might want to prioritize steam.pipe higher than x-d-p, so that Steam has the opportunity to choose what the UX will be (launching an external browser, vs. showing the web page in-process using CEF and steamwebhelper).
