In a56904e40d the desktop file was patched
to use "wezterm start" instead of "wezterm". As an unneeded addendum
that patch also included the unnecessary addition of ending command-line
parsing by passing the "--" option at the end.
As it turns out, some consumers of wezterm's desktop file want wezterm
to parse command line flags. For example KDE's kio passes the whole
cmdline via the "-e" flag, because it is widely used for most terminal
emulators as the primary mean of passing the cmdline.
To solve this we remove the unneeded "--" again, because we now also
support the "-e" option.
After all, all trailing arguments will automatically be parsed by
wezterm as the cmdline of the program to run.
The only sideeffect of this change is that we now cannot longer start
programs that share a name with a "wezterm start" option, for example if
the user has installed an executable at /usr/bin/--always-new-process
then this edge case will not work anymore.
Given that this would be an extremely unlikely scenario, it makes more
sense to improve compatibility by supporting the usecase of passing the
cmdline with the "-e" flag.
