Currently the game is launched via xdg-open, which is not available on Windows. I read that on Mac the counterpart would be open.

Add a module launch.py to handle starting Unvanquished.

Icon testing code was removed from tray.py as this module cannot be run
directly any more; this code might come back as an external script.

This fixes #1 and references #2 (possible partial fix).

In version 0.2.0, we'll try to pass the unv:// URI first to xdg-open, then to open, then to unvanquished +connect. This should work on most flavors of GNU/Linux and Mac OS. However, I'd like input from at least one Mac and Windows user before closing this.
