Use start-process-shell-command which already calls call-process with
shell-file-name.

`start-process-shell-command` doesn't seem to wait for
`counsel-locate-action-extern` to finish under Ubuntu. [Gist to
reproduce the
issue](https://gist.github.com/yiufung/38be4c3a6832334f36f2441550cf0b12).

[#3](http://emacs.1067599.n8.nabble.com/emacs-and-xdg-open-td106892.html))
suggests to:

1. Set `process-connection-type` as nil temporarily
2. Called with `setsid -w` to wait for the process to finish.

To avoid interfering with other platforms and applications, I adopted
the latter approach which uses `lsb_release` to check distribution
type with fall back as `xdg-open`. Currently only check for Ubuntu,
and to be extended in the future.
