Function to be run to parse command line URLs.

This is meant to be used for MIME handlers or command line use.

Setting the handler for "text/x-uri;" to
"emacs -f eww-browse %u" will then start up Emacs and call eww
to browse the url.

This can also be used on the command line directly:

 emacs -f eww-browse https://gnu.org

will start Emacs and browse the GNU web site.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 28.1.
