[pacman-dev] [PATCH 2/2] dload: dont forget to initialize open_mode !

That's a funny one, building with optimization levels (with both gcc and
clang) caused open_mode to always be set to "ab", which worked.

This was spotted both with clang-analyzer, and by Jakob who reported a
segfault as he was using an un-optimized build.

Maybe we should build with -O0 in debug mode.
