Rename `pathlib._os.magic_open()` to `vfsopen()`. The new name is a bitless abstract, and it aligns with the `vfspath()` method added in 5dbd27d.Per discussion on discourse[^1], adjust `vfsopen()` so that the followingmethods may be called:- `__open_reader__()`- `__open_writer__(mode)`- `__open_updater__(mode)`These three methods return readable, writable, and full duplex file objectsrespectively. In the 'writer' method, *mode* is either 'a', 'w' or 'x'. Inthe 'updater' method, *mode* is either 'r' or 'w'.Also stop trying built-in `open()` first. I don't know whether this is agood idea or not, so it's best to leave it out for now.In the pathlib ABCs, replace `ReadablePath.__open_rb__()` with`__open_reader__()`, and replace `WritablePath.__open_wb__()` with`__open_writer__()`.[^1]:https://discuss.python.org/t/open-able-objects/90238
