Bump open from 5.3.6 to 5.4.0

[dependabot]

Bumps open from 5.3.6 to 5.4.0.

Release notes

Sourced from open's releases.

v5.4.0

New Features

• cargo run now shows the exact commands that were tried when opening. This is useful for debugging, mainly.

Bug Fixes

• Align WSL PowerShell invocation with Windows Pass the WSL open target to PowerShell through the OPEN_RS_TARGET environment variable instead of embedding it in the command string and escaping it as a single-quoted PowerShell value.

  This matches the safer invocation already used by the native Windows backend. Keeping the PowerShell program fixed ensures that paths and URLs are treated purely as data, even when they contain quotes, semicolons, or other PowerShell metacharacters. It also removes the need for custom PowerShell quoting and avoids converting the target through to_string_lossy() during command construction.

  Add -NonInteractive for consistency with the Windows launcher and update the WSL tests to verify both the fixed command and the unchanged environment-variable value.

• prevent launcher option and shell injection Opening an attacker-controlled dash-leading path could be interpreted as launcher options. On Windows, cmd /c start also parsed embedded quotes and metacharacters as command language, while the legacy gnome-open fallback could load a module even after a double-dash separator.

  Add command-construction regressions for malicious option-shaped paths and Windows shell metacharacters. Use supported separators on macOS and KDE, and rewrite dash-leading relative paths for launchers without separator support. Keep Windows values out of shell syntax by passing the default target through the environment and invoking custom applications directly, with explorer.exe as a PowerShell-free fallback.

  Exclude cmd-based opening by default, while providing an explicit insecure Cargo feature for users who need compatibility it and accept their unsafe handling of untrusted input.

  Validated with default and all-feature cargo tests, clippy, and cross-target cargo check --tests for aarch64 Linux and Windows.
