open-files: add mode string argument.
The open-files and open-files* functions are missing a mode string argument, which makes it impossible to, say, open all of the files in "rb" mode on a platform where that matters. * stream.c (open_files, open_files_star): Take mode as a third optional parameter. If it is present, then pass it to open_file. * txr.1: Document mode string parameter for the two functions.
