The current implementation fails to produce an "IsNotExist" error on some
platforms (unix) for certain situations where it would be expected. This causes
downstream consumers, like FileServer, to emit 500 errors instead of a 404 for
some non-existant paths on certain platforms but not others.
As an example, os.Open("/index.html/foo") on a unix-type system will return
syscall.ENOTDIR, which os.IsNotExist cannot return true for (because the
error code is ambiguous without context). On windows, this same example
would result in os.IsNotExist returning true -- since the returned error is
specific.
This change alters Dir.Open to look up the tree for an "IsPermission" or
"IsNotExist" error to return, or a non-directory, returning os.ErrNotExist in
the last case. For all other error scenarios, the original error is returned.
This ensures that downstream code, like FileServer, receive errors that behave
the same across all platforms.
