files: trying to open a non-existent file will never succeed

If it would, the returned file descriptor would make nano crash,
because the corresponding stream has not been opened.  And when
returning zero instead (as the code did originally), nano would
open an empty buffer, although it claims to be reading the file.

In short: I think this is a leftover of an attempted fix of
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?25297, from commit 2823c99.
