Summary

This is addressing cases such as fts_read(3) encountering an [EIO]
from fchdir(2) when FTS_NOCHDIR is not set. That would otherwise be
seen as a successful traversal in some of these cases while silently
discarding expected work.

As noted in r264201, fts_read() does not set errno to 0 on a successful
EOF so it needs to be set before calling it. Otherwise we might see
a random error from one of the iterations.

gzip is ignoring most errors and could be improved separately.
