I just noticed that our opendir() implementation sometimes reports
the wrong errno when it fails. This bug is something I introduced in
the 5.7 stream and has never been in a production release so I don't
see much point in documenting the change. In any case, the patch
here prevents underlying causes such as ENOENT and EINVAL from being
overridden with EACCES.
