load-fragment: ignore ENOTDIR/EACCES errors (#3510)
If for whatever reason the file system is "corrupted", we want to be resilient and ignore the error, as long as we can load the units from a different place. Arch bug https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49547. A user had an ntfs symlink (essentially a file) instead of a directory after restoring from backup. We should just ignore that like we would treat a missing directory, for general resiliency. We should treat permission errors similarly. For example an unreadable /usr/local/lib directory would prevent (user) instances of systemd from loading any units. It seems better to continue.
