The Updog listing 403's if given a directory with a symbolic link to an inaccessible file.

To reproduce:

  1. Create a directory with a dead symbolic link on account of the destination being unreachable. I discovered this browsing my /etc directory, which had a symlink to something walled off to my user in /boot.
  2. View directory in Updog.

Expected behavior is that only the affected path should be be affected, not the parent directory with the link.

The cause of the issue is that the is_dir/is_file methods of DirEntry throw PermissionErrors when used on a walled-off symbolic link.
