config, gitignore: failure to access with ENOTDIR is ok

The access_or_warn() function is used to check for optional configuration files like .gitconfig and .gitignore and warn when they are not accessible due to a configuration issue (e.g., bad permissions). It is not supposed to complain when a file is simply missing. Noticed on a system where ~/.config/git was a file --- when the new XDG_CONFIG_HOME support looks for ~/.config/git/config it should ignore ~/.config/git instead of printing irritating warnings: $ git status -s warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory Compare v1.7.12.1~2^2 (attr:failure to open a .gitattributes file is OK with ENOTDIR, 2012-09-13).
