pnfsmanager: avoid leaking whether or not file exists
Motivation:
The WebDAV door (among other doors) queries pnfsmanager to discover the PNFS-ID of a target. Within pnfsmanager, the NameSpaceProvider plugin is used to discover information about the target.
When looking up the inode from a path, the Chimera plugin (ChimeraNameSpaceProvider) checks whether the user can 'cd' into the target's parent directory. To do this, it looks up the inode information for the target and all it's parents.
Currently, if the target does not exist then this immediately throws FileNotFoundChimeraFsException. This is true even if the user does not have permission to 'cd' into a parent directory. Therefore, the user can discover whether a file exists within a directory that user cannot enter.
Modification:
Update ChimeraNameSpaceProvider so that, after discovering the target does not exist, it next checks whether the user can 'cd' into the deepest parent directory that exists. If the user does not have permission to 'cd' into this deepest parent directory then the FileNotFoundChimeraFsException is replaced with a PermissionDeniedCacheException.
Result:
Doors no longer allow a user to discover whether or not a file or directory exists within directories they cannot access.
