rm: be even more careful when using a replacement errno value
* src/remove.c (excise): The change in commit v8.19-107-gccbd3f3 made the "rm -rf D" (for unreadable dir, D) diagnostic worse on Solaris 10: -rm: cannot remove 'D': Permission denied +rm: cannot remove 'D': File exists That happened because unlinkat would fail with EEXIST there, given an unreadable directory, which made the two tests, tests/rm/unread2 and tests/rm/unreadable fail. Accommodate the EEXIST case, too.
