This is the first part of the suggested changes. These do not touch
attachment modifications, but rather improve the tooling in "ol.el".

In a nutshell:

`org-link-parameters' accepts a new property, :open, which is
like :follow, but function installed there is called with a universal
prefix argument. It could replace :follow altogether, but for
compatibility reasons, they both live side by side for the moment.

Also, :export function is called with a fourth argument, the export info
channel. I updated the export back-ends to handle the new signature, and
provided a compatibility layers for link libraries in the wild, which
may still use three arguments.

There are two new tools: `org-link-open-as-file' and
`org-export-link-as-file'. They can be used as helper functions for,
respectively, :open and :export functions.

WDYT?
