petdance/scratch — Issue #767: Remove the open and close opcodes

The open and close opcodes are redundant and since the IO ops became dynops, have subtle problems, as found by PL/Parrot:
``` arg count mismatch: op #1119 'open' needs 17820 given 3 ```

Uses of the open/close opcode can easily be changed to use the open/close methods on the File or FileHandle PMC.
