util.opener: if requested, use atomicfile even if the file doesn't exist

Right now, surprisingly enough, if you request an atomic file but the
file still doesn't exist, you get a regular file.  AFAICS, the only time
this happens is during the initial creation of the dirstate.

PatchReview Introduction                                  *patchreview-intro*

The Patch Review plugin allows single or multipatch code review to be done in
VIM. VIM provides the |:diffpatch| command to do single file reviews but can
not handle patch files containing multiple patches as is common with software
development projects. This plugin provides that missing functionality. It also
tries to improve on |:diffpatch|'s behaviour of creating the patched files in
the same directory as original file which can lead to project workspace
pollution.

PatchReview Options                                     *patchreview-options*

  g:patchreview_filterdiff : Optional path to filterdiff binary. PatchReview
                             tries to locate filterdiff on system path
                             automatically. If the binary is not on system
                             path, this option tell PatchReview the full path
                             to the binary.  This option, if specified,
                             overrides the default filterdiff binary on the
                             path.

     examples:
        (On Windows with Cygwin)

           let g:patchreview_filterdiff = 'c:\\cygwin\\bin\\filterdiff.exe'

        (On *nix systems)

           let g:patchreview_filterdiff = '/usr/bin/filterdiff'

  g:patchreview_patch      : Optional path to patch binary. PatchReview tries
                             to locate patch on system path automatically. If
                             the binary is not on system path, this option
                             tell PatchReview the full path to the binary.
                             This option, if specified, overrides the default
                             patch binary on the path.

     examples:
        (On Windows with Cygwin)

           let g:patchreview_patch = 'c:\\cygwin\\bin\\patch.exe'

        (On *nix systems)

           let g:patchreview_patch = '/usr/bin/gpatch'


  g:patchreview_tmpdir : Optional path where the plugin can save temporary
                         files.  If this is not specified, the plugin tries to
                         use TMP, TEMP and TMPDIR environment variables in
                         succession.

    examples:
        (On Windows)      let g:patchreview_tmpdir = 'c:\\tmp'
        (On *nix systems) let g:patchreview_tmpdir = '~/tmp'

PatchReview Usage                                          *patchreview-usage*
                                                                *:PatchReview*

  :PatchReview patchfile_path [optional_source_directory]

    Perform a patch review in the current directory based on the supplied
    patchfile_path. If optional_source_directory is specified, patchreview is
    done on that directory. Othewise, the current directory is assumed to be
    the source directory.
                                                          *:PatchReviewCleanup*

  :PatchReviewCleanup

    After you are done using the :PatchReview command, you can cleanup the
    temporary files in the temporary directory using this command.
