commit: ea02d98de04d6fccbd0e63883f3c2d48d52d5794

summary:

[3.13] gh-135683: Honor raiseExceptions when opening the file fails in 
FileHandler (GH-154542) (GH-157809)

FileHandler and WatchedFileHandler opened the file outside the try block
that reports errors via handleError(), so an error while opening the file
was raised instead of being handled, ignoring raiseExceptions.
(cherry picked from commit e8ac9c4369b383d38806245bf5789689af1e19cd)
