sane_execvp(): ignore non-directory on $PATH

When you have a non-directory on your PATH, a funny thing happens:

	$ PATH=$PATH:/bin/sh git foo
	fatal: cannot exec 'git-foo': Not a directory?

Worse yet, as real commands always take precedence over aliases,
this behaviour interacts rather badly with them:

	$ PATH=$PATH:/bin/sh git -c alias.foo=show git foo -s
	fatal: cannot exec 'git-foo': Not a directory?

This is because an ENOTDIR error from the underlying execvp(2) is
reported back to the caller of our sane_execvp() wrapper as-is.

Translating it to ENOENT, just like the case where we _might_ have
the command in an unreadable directory, fixes it.  Without an alias,
we would get

	git: 'foo' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

and we use the 'foo' alias when it is available, of course.
