main: open block and undo files read-only when they're opened for reading

OpenDiskFile opened every block or undo file "rb+", even for its
fReadOnly callers, so every reader held a writable fd. That's what let
the wolfSSL CloseSocket bug corrupt blocks/*.dat. A P2P double close
took the wallet's BDB fd away; the number was then handed to a block
file opened for a getblock/getdata read; BDB's next wallet page write
landed in it, at offset pgno*4096. On production that destroyed blocks
2,728,132-2,728,161 in blk00011.dat and block 3,356,880 in blk00020.dat.

Every fReadOnly caller only reads through the handle:
- ReadBlockFromDisk, UndoReadFromDisk, both GetTransaction paths and
  hush_blockload read via CAutoFile >>;
- the reindex loop hands it to LoadExternalBlockFile, which reads via
  CBufferedFile;
- the existence check at startup only opens it;
- hush_prefetch only freads.
Open those "rb". A stray write through a reused fd number then fails
(EBADF) instead of silently corrupting a block file. Missing files
still fail to open as before; writers keep "rb+"/"wb+".

FdDefense.ReadOnlyBlockFileIsNotWritable: pwrite through a read-only
block file's fd fails with EBADF, while the writable open still writes.
