Subject: [PATCH] Open hidden files in `Open-EditorFile`

On macOS and Linux, dot files are hidden, so `Get-ChildItem` skips them
unless `-Force` is passed. This meant `psedit ~/.zshrc` (and similar)
silently opened nothing, making the alias useless for exactly the kind of
config files people most often want to jump into.

Add `-Force` to the `Get-ChildItem` call in `Open-EditorFile` so hidden
files resolve and open. The issue notes a wrinkle: with `-Force`, passing a
*directory* would now also enumerate its hidden files. I think that's an
acceptable trade-off for the common path-to-a-file case, and a draft for
maintainer review either way.

Fixes #1750.
