Allow custom handler for PDF files

Browse source 
Configurable via extensions.zotero.fileHandler.pdf hidden pref for now,
though we'll probably make it a visible pref.

We also appear to have been doing blocking launches when launch()
failed, which may have been causing UI hangs when opening files on some
Linux installations. (I'm not sure if that's an issue with recent
Firefox builds. launch() works on Ubuntu 17.10.) All launches are now
async.

This is a rewritten version of PR #1450 by @ehhc.

Closes #1450
