Add .open() to the Traversable API

As is implied by the migration guide, Traversable objects require a .open() method.

The interface needs to be a limited subset of the usual open() operation, but it's basically this:

def open(self, mode='r', *args, **kwargs):
    """
    mode may be 'r' or 'rb' to open as text or binary. Return a handle
    suitable for reading (same as pathlib.Path.open).

    When opening as text, accepts encoding parameters such as those
    accepted by io.TextIOWrapper.
    """

Note, only with zipp 3.0 (and the Python 2 compatible zipp 1.2.0) does the zipp.Path object have a compatible interface, so importlib_resources should depend on these versions.
