📄 Description

This fixes two issues.

  • Opens the assigned default application regardless of its configuration.
    Gvim for example only reacts to the "edit" verb so when selected as default application won't open.
    Using nullptr results in using the first specified application.
    This fixes Panes Accessibility: Attach panes to UIA tree (#1789)
  • If no application is assigned for json files fall back to notepad

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shellapi/nf-shellapi-shellexecutea for more details
especially why the result code checking is so horrific.
