Fix incorrect errno in OpenWalSummaryFile()

This routine has an option to bypass an error if a WAL summary file is
opened for read but is missing (missing_ok=true).  However, the code
incorrectly checked for EEXIST, that matters when using O_CREAT and
O_EXCL, rather than ENOENT, for this case.

There are currently only two callers of OpenWalSummaryFile() in the
tree, and both use missing_ok=false, meaning that the check based on the
errno is currently dead code.  This issue could matter for out-of-core
code or future backpatches that would like to use missing_ok set to
true.

Issue spotted while monitoring this area of the code, after
a9afa021e95f.
