[PATCH v2 5/5] dir.c: stop ignoring opendir() error in open_cached_dir()

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com>

A follow-up to the recently fixed bugs in the untracked invalidation. If opendir() fails it should show a warning, perhaps this should die, but if this ever happens the error is probably recoverable for the user, and dying would just make things worse.
