`readDir` on a directory containing a broken symlink fails with a confusing error

[krisajenkins]

Current Behaviour
I am calling readDir on ~/Documents. That directory happens to contain a broken symlink. The call to readDir fails with this error:

Error: failed to read directory at path: /Users/me/Documents with error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

This is untrue. The directory definitely exists. Digging into the source, I believe I've found the problem. It arises on this line when the code is attempting to read the symlink's metadata. Since the symlink is invalid, the code throws an error, which is then incorrectly reported here as being a problem with the directory.

Expected Behaviour

The code should not throw an error. It should be possible to read directories that contain invalid symlinks. Reading the symlink should fail, but reading its parent should not.

At the very least, the error message should reference the problematic file, not the parent directory.
