Open mailto links in a new aerc instance if needed.

Aerc tries to open mailto:// links via the socket of the already running aerc
instance.

If no socket exists this silently errored out.
This commit starts up a new aerc instance if it can't connect to the socket
(which I think is the most common error) and if not sets up a new aerc instance
and retries to open the compositor.

This fixes https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc2/295 by implementing the desired
behaviour.
