Subject: fs: reject open()/read() on a directory (EISDIR)

open() now checks the target's inode type: opening a directory as a file
returns $FE (EISDIR) instead of a valid fd, so 'cat docs' no longer streams the
raw directory block as bytes. cat reports 'is a directory'; wc/head/save treat
any invalid fd (>3) as an open failure. (ls is unaffected - it uses the
structural opendir/list path, not open/getb.)
