Suggested change in net/browse-url.el

I find it a nuisance that
a) if a generic browser forks and detaches itself from the controlling
tty, Emacs chooses to kill the process group, stopping a browser
client from starting up.

b) If my browser has been started by Emacs, it will get killed when
Emacs is exited.

Personally, I am using firefox and browse-url-generic, and so my
change looks like the following:

Attachment: txt9UysIfyB2k.txt
Description: Start generic browser without keeping control

Anybody mind if I check it in?  People using other browsers might
consider similar things.  Point b) will still affect them, even if the
specific Problem of starting the browser in the first place works.
