Subject: [PATCH] fix(compiler): respect provider open config in M.open()

Problem: :Preview open always called vim.ui.open regardless of the
provider's open field. Providers configured with a custom opener
(e.g. open = { 'sioyek', '--new-instance' }) were ignored, so the
first build opened with sioyek but :Preview open fell back to the
system default.

Solution: init.lua resolves the provider's open config and passes it
to compiler.open(). If open_config is a table, the custom command is
spawned with the output path appended. Otherwise vim.ui.open is used
as before.
