Rollup merge of #42925 - tbu-:pr_document_file_open_errors, r=GuillaumeGomez

Document possible `io::ErrorKind`s of `fs::open`

Try to make clear that this isn't an API guarantee for now, as we likely
want to refine these errors in the future, e.g. `ENOSPC` "No space left
on device".

/// * Opening a file that does not exist without setting `create` or

/// * Attempting to open a file with access that the user lacks
/// permissions for
/// * Filesystem-level errors (full disk, etc)
/// * Invalid combinations of open options (truncate without write access,
/// no access mode set, etc)
/// * [`NotFound`]: The specified file does not exist and neither `create`
/// or `create_new` is set.
/// * [`NotFound`]: One of the directory components of the file path does
/// not exist.
/// * [`PermissionDenied`]: The user lacks permission to get the specified
/// access rights for the file.
/// * [`PermissionDenied`]: The user lacks permission to open one of the
/// directory components of the specified path.
/// * [`AlreadyExists`]: `create_new` was specified and the file already
/// exists.
/// * [`InvalidInput`]: Invalid combinations of open options (truncate
/// without write access, no access mode set, etc.).
/// * [`Other`]: One of the directory components of the specified file path
/// was not, in fact, a directory.
/// * [`Other`]: Filesystem-level errors: full disk, write permission
/// requested on a read-only file system, exceeded disk quota, too many
/// open files, too long filename, too many symbolic links in the
/// specified path (Unix-like systems only), etc.
