fix execvp failing on not-dir entries in PATH.

It's better to make execvp continue PATH search on ENOTDIR rather than
issuing an error. Bogus entries should not render rest of PATH invalid.

Maintainer's note: POSIX seems to require the search to continue like
this as part of XBD 8.3 Other Environment Variables. Only errors that
conclusively determine non-existence are candidates for continuing;
otherwise for consistency we have to report the error.
