Christian Brabandt 71fd19d7ac runtime(open): Use job_start() on Linux
Problem:  With zsh, executing :!nohup xdg-open url >/dev/null 2>&1 &
          does not launch the browser. This occurs presumably because
          gvim/zsh cleans up background processes in a non-interactive
          session too quickly.
Solution: Use job_start() with "stoponexit" set to an empty string.
          This bypasses the shell entirely (fixing the zsh issue)
          and ensures the browser process is not killed when Vim exits.
          On Linux, shellescape() is removed as job_start() in list
          mode handles special characters natively.

fixes: #19594
