executor: improve opendir(3) error handling
While investigating an OpenBSD reproducer[1][2] I discovered the
following:
* All threads are stuck on the last `sleep(1000000)` syscall in main(),
hence no output for the test machine.
* Each executor process created in loop() performs one iteration but
exits abnormally during the call to remove_dir().
* Calling remove_dir() will eventually invoke itself recursively since
one of the executed syscall is `mkdir("./file0", 0)` meaning that it
will try to remove the directory created by execute_one(). However,
`opendir(3)` fails with `EACCES` due to the permissions passed to
`mkdir(2)` is zero.
Instead of exiting, trying to remove the problematic directory in a best
effort manner makes the reproducer continue executing the generated
syscalls. This work around might be considered to narrow. Another option
would be to replace the `sleep(1000000)` with `waitpid(-1, NULL, 0)`
until ECHILD is hit.
