ExternalBrowser: avoid using fd if possible

Duncan McNamara requested to merge Skantes/vlc-android:launch-browser into master

This is to use the media path directly if possible and avoid using the fd forwarded to the app from an external browser. Using a fd means that the app's permission to use the file will disappear which creates issues when resuming media. Also, opening media from an fd means that the app won't have access to any meta data.

Fixes #2496 (closed), #2861 (closed), #2862 (closed)
