Christoph Martin c924de69f0 gio-tool-launch: fix %k field code expansion ...

As per the desktop entry specification, the `%k` field code should be
expanded to the location of the desktop entry file being processed. This
is only possible if the constructor-only filename property is populated,
which does not happen when using g_desktop_app_info_new_from_keyfile().

Moreover, since the Path directive in a desktop entry can be used to
set the working directory for the program to be launched, the location
passed as argument to the program must be modified such that it points
at the correct file when interpreted by the launched program. The
simplest way to achieve this consistently is to pass an absolute path.

However, g_desktop_app_info_new_from_keyfile() does not indicate why it
fails when it does. Because the tool aims to indicate whether launching
failed due to a missing file or a malformed one we first check this with
g_key_file_load_from_file().
