gtkfilechooser: Fix open() references in documentation

Philip Withnall requested to merge pwithnall/gtk:file-chooser-docs into gtk-3-24

While it’s true that you can pass the results of gtk_file_chooser_get_filename() straight to open() or fopen() on Linux, you can’t do so on Windows as it expects the filename to be in the ANSI codepage. Using the GLib wrappers g_open()/g_fopen() instead means that the appropriate UTF-8 → UTF-16 → wopen()/wfopen() conversions are done.

Spotted by Fabian Keßler in glib#2212 (closed).

Only applies to gtk-3-24.
