base: Make `open` calls interruptible
As noted in #17912, `open` system calls were `safe` rather than `interruptible`. Consequently, the program could not be interrupted with SIGINT if stuck in a slow open operation. Fix this by marking `c_safe_open` as interruptible.

# Changelog for [`base` package](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base)
## 4.15.0.0 *TBA*
- * TODO
+
+ * `openFile` now calls the `open` system call with an `interruptible` FFI
+ call, ensuring that the call can be interrupted with `SIGINT` on POSIX
+ systems.
## 4.14.0.0 *TBA*
* Bundled with GHC 8.10.1
