    Teach pg_ls_dir_files() to ignore ENOENT failures from stat(). · 82e80185

    Buildfarm experience shows that this function can fail with ENOENT
    if some other process unlinks a file between when we read the directory
    entry and when we try to stat() it.  The problem is old but we had
    not noticed it until 085b6b66 added regression test coverage.
    
    To fix, just ignore ENOENT failures.  There is one other case that
    this might hide: a symlink that points to nowhere.  That seems okay
    though, at least better than erroring.
    
    Back-patch to v10 where this function was added, since the regression
    test cases were too.
