When asked to open/fopen a path, e.g. "a/b:/c", which does not exist
on the filesystem, Windows (correctly) fails to open it but sets
EINVAL to errno because the pathname has characters that cannot be
stored in its filesystem.
As this is an expected failure, teach is_missing_file_error() helper
about this case.
This is RFC, as there may be a case where we get EINVAL from
open/fopen for reasons other than "the filesystem does not like this
pathname" that may be worth reporting to the user, and this change
is sweeping such an error under the rug.
