Subject: [PATCH] Document file:open/2 monitors the owner process

The documentation states that file:open/2 is linked to
the owner process but that's not true. A monitor is used
instead (it has been so for a while).

           An <c><anno>IoDevice</anno></c> returned from this call can be used
           as an argument to the I/O functions (see
