Propagating errors from e.g. filldir() out through ->iterate() instances 
turns out to be painful.  If anything, considering that there's a lot
more ->iterate/->iterate_shared instances that ->actor ones, it would
make sense to change the calling conventions for the latter.  IOW,
stop pretending that they return an error value and just have them
return a bool: "should the caller keep going".

Here's what I've got sitting in a local branch; not sure if it would
be better to invert the rules, though - I went for "should we keep
going", but we could do "should we stop" instead.

Change calling conventions for filldir_t

filldir_t instances (directory iterators callbacks) used to return 0 for
"OK, keep going" or -E... for "stop".  Note that it's *NOT* how the
error values are reported - the rules for those are callback-dependent
and ->iterate{,_shared}() instances only care about zero vs. non-zero
(look at emit_dir() and friends).

So let's just return bool - it's less confusing that way.

+filldir_t (readdir callbacks) calling conventions have changed.  Instead of
