I think this only happens with open(). The _io module could use the CRT's _doserrno value to call PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObject. We can rely on _doserrno if _wopen fails.

Otherwise this is the expected mapping from Windows ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND (3) or ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE (206) to POSIX ENOENT (2). The Windows error in the case of path that's too long is not ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2).
