Fix multiple bugs in tablespace symlink removal.
Don't try to examine S_ISLNK(st.st_mode) after a failed lstat().
It's undefined.
Also, if the lstat() reported ENOENT, we do not wish that to be a hard
error, but the code might nonetheless treat it as one (giving an entirely
misleading error message, too) depending on luck-of-the-draw as to what
S_ISLNK() returned.
Don't throw error for ENOENT from rmdir(), either. (We're not really
expecting ENOENT because we just stat'd the file successfully; but
if we're going to allow ENOENT in the symlink code path, surely the
directory code path should too.)
Generate an appropriate errcode for its-the-wrong-type-of-file complaints.
(ERRCODE_SYSTEM_ERROR doesn't seem appropriate, and failing to write
errcode() around it certainly doesn't work, and not writing an errcode
at all is not per project policy.)
Valgrind noticed the undefined S_ISLNK result; the other problems emerged
while reading the code in the area.
All of this appears to have been introduced in 8f15f74a44f68f9c.
Back-patch to 9.5 where that commit appeared.
