Make eww work better on Tramp HTML

* lisp/net/eww.el (eww-open-file): Use it.
(eww-browse-url): Ditto.

* lisp/net/shr.el (shr-expand-url): Allow loading relative Tramp
files if we're reading from a file:// document.

* lisp/url/url-file.el (url-allow-non-local-files): New user option
(bug#40425).
