bug#42432: 26.3; Doc of `browse-url*' functions |

The doc of the `browse-url*' functions that says that the function uses
a WWW browser is, in general, incorrect when it comes to functions that
can browse a file. The doc should be corrected in this regard.
For example, any function that directly or indirectly uses
`browse-url-default-windows-browser' does NOT, even in general, use a
web browser. It typically uses `w32-shell-execute' with action "open"
to open the file. In general, the program that does that is determined
by the file type, and in generalt it is NOT a web browser.
