Improved checking for open files

Version 1.3 has a new mechanism to figure out if a file is open and adds better support for different Servoy versions.

New features in 1.3:

• Improved checks of open files: on Mac and Linux, the lsof statement is used to try to figure out if a file is open; on Windows, a canWrite() test is performed and if true a rename is attempted. While far from perfect, this should be more reliable that previous methods
• added isFileOpen() method
• improved getOpenFiles in Watcher using the method described above
• improved method calling for different versions of Servoy
