I don't think there's much we _can_ do. The other call-sites seem to
just ignore failures. I suspect turning those into unlink_or_warn()
would be a good idea (and should be safe; it treats ENOENT as a noop, so
anything it reports should be an actual error worthy of the user's
attention).

But probably it would make sense to do that consistently for all of
those calls, and that doesn't need to be part of the 2.26 fixup.
