Remove the open command

`open` and `view` shared one implementation and differed in a single
line: `open` also made the project the active one. Only `view` is left,
with the behaviour it always had.

Dropping it from builtinCmds is the part worth noting: a reserved word
cannot be shadowed by an alias, so `open` is now free for one --
`alias open '!xdg-open $1'` works, which it could not before. That also
made a completion test wrong, since it used `open` as its example of a
name a builtin owns; it uses `status` now.

The `runInDir(d, "open", ...)` calls stay: those are macOS's open(1),
which is how an Xcode workspace gets opened.
