Subject: runtime(vim9): remove extra escaping in Open

runtime(vim9): remove extra escaping in Open

Before 71fd19d7ac9e83bf63d7bad337f43cd830a5b5bd this function went
through a `:!` command on all platforms, so it needed special escaping for `#` and
others. After that commit it doesn't go through that path on unix
platforms. Then with 48581f2ba96550f5499cc322647b2ff1df5ad4ed this
escaping was re-added on unix and it's needs since it goes through
`sh -c`, but it should not have the extra escaping specific to `:!`.

Specifically my original broken command is:

```
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin VIMRUNTIME=~/dev/vim/runtime ./src/vim -u NONE -c 'call dist#vim9#Open("https://github.com/keith/dotfiles/blob/7bce9f5c697df6a549cf97bf5606d8b639e5bf5a/vimrc#L19")'
```

Where the `#L19` ends up being opened as `%5C#L19`. But I verified this
case still works as well:

```
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin VIMRUNTIME=~/dev/vim/runtime ./src/vim -u NONE -c 'call dist#vim9#Open("foo bar.txt")'
```

Which is what would otherwise break if we weren't doing any shell
escaping on unix.

closes: #19996
