[pacman-dev] [PATCH v4 2/2] src/pacman/query.c: do not exit -Qo with error if file does not exist

From: Ivy Foster <iff at escondida.tk>

Query operations act on the local db, not the filesystem. Also, a
valid use case for -Qo is to discover what package owns a deleted file
so it can be reinstalled.

Closes FS#55856.

This version checks to make sure that S_ISDIR is only called on extant
files: if lstat fails, above, is_missing is set. If search_path finds
a file of the given name in $PATH, it runs lstat and properly sets
buf, so we're covered either way.
