safe_create_leading_directories_const() returns a non-zero value on error. The old code at this calling site recognized a couple of particular error values, and treated all other return values as success. Instead, be more conservative: recognize the errors we are interested in, but treat any other nonzero values as failures. This is more robust in case somebody adds another possible return value without telling us.
