Set Edge as default Web browser for Windows target
Waiting to embed a real browser from a library, such as JavaFX or Webkit, set the argument:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=edge
for better compatibility with CSS, JS, and media formats.
We need to check if it breaks anything, such as editions, etc.
