gh-85644: webbrowser: Use $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to check desktop (GH-21731) 

Usage of $GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID env variable is deprecated since
GNOME 3.30.0 [1], so should not be used, while the standard
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP should be instead preferred.

Use the ``XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP`` environment variable in :mod:`webbrowser` to check desktop.
Prefer it to the deprecated ``GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID`` for GNOME detection.
