Tentative fix for #14924
I don't like it too much, because we could still have a race condition and the src file could have been removed in between the two calls - but the current code works with two successive calls anyway so it's probably acceptable.
The core issue is that
:file.copy, called indo_cp_file, would return{:error, :enoent}in both those cases without allowing us to distinguish::file.copy(non_existing_file, existing_dir):file.copy(existing_file, non_existing_dir)
