Attachment: gopherectomy for Info-Camino.plist

In bug 388192, Firefox removed their LS entries claiming to handle the gopher protocol for security reasons.  I'm not clear on all the implications, but gopher's pretty dead anyway, so not telling the OS that we can handle gopher doesn't seem like a big loss.

This should apply on the branch, too.  If the issue is really serious, we should consider making 1.5-branch patch, too.

gopherectomy for Info-Camino.plist

Er, this isn't "complete" (in the sense the Fx patch was), because we *do* set ourselves as the default gopher client when we set ourselves as the default browser.

Attachment: trunk, with NSWorkspace+Utils fixup

The LaunchServices functions are different on branch and trunk, so we need 2 patches.

Needless to say, these haven't been tested since I can't build anymore.
