Improve error handling in RemovePgTempFiles().
Modify this function and its subsidiaries so that syscall failures are reported via ereport(LOG), rather than silently ignored as before. We don't want to throw a hard ERROR, as that would prevent database startup, and getting rid of leftover temporary files is not important enough for that. On the other hand, not reporting trouble at all seems like an odd choice not in line with current project norms, especially since any failure here is quite unexpected. On the same reasoning, adjust these functions' AllocateDir/ReadDir calls so that failure to scan a directory results in LOG not ERROR. I also removed the previous practice of silently ignoring ENOENT failures during directory opens --- there are some corner cases where that could happen given a previous database crash, but that seems like a bad excuse for ignoring a condition that isn't expected in most cases. A LOG message during postmaster start seems OK in such situations, and better than no output at all. In passing, make RemovePgTempRelationFiles' test for "is the file name all digits" look more like the way it's done elsewhere. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/19907.1512402254@sss.pgh.pa.us
