Alberto Bertogli e417d67f7c chasquid: Return error on inaccessible private key file
In commit 3f9d0c0762, we added a new possible private file. If the file
exists but there's an error reading it (common for permission issues),
currently we just move on to the next file, and if it doesn't exist we
may give up with that error.

That can "hide" the access problems making them harder to debug.

To help with those kinds of errors, this patch updates the logic to
return an error if a private key exists but is inaccessible.

It also adds an unit test for this function to cover the different
scenarios, and updates the docs to match.

.SH FILES
.IX Header "FILES"
The daemon\*(Aqs configuration is by default in \fI/etc/chasquid/\fR, and can be
changed with the \fI\-config_dir\fR flag.
.PP
Inside that directory, the daemon expects the following structure:
.IP \fIchasquid.conf\fR 8
.IX Item "chasquid.conf"
Main config file, see \fBchasquid.conf\fR\|(5).
.IP \fIdomains/\fR 8
.IX Item "domains/"
Per\-domain configuration.
.IP \fIdomains/example.com/\fR 8
.IX Item "domains/example.com/"
Domain\-specific configuration. Can be empty.
.IP \fIdomains/example.com/users\fR 8
.IX Item "domains/example.com/users"
User and password database for this domain.
.IP \fIdomains/example.com/aliases\fR 8
.IX Item "domains/example.com/aliases"
Aliases for the domain.
.IP \fIcerts/\fR 8
.IX Item "certs/"
Certificates to use, one directory per pair.
.IP \fIcerts/mx.example.com/\fR 8
.IX Item "certs/mx.example.com/"
Certificates for this domain.
.IP \fIcerts/mx.example.com/fullchain.pem\fR 8
.IX Item "certs/mx.example.com/fullchain.pem"
Certificate (full chain).
.IP \fIcerts/mx.example.com/privkey.pem\fR 8
.IX Item "certs/mx.example.com/privkey.pem"
Private key (can also be named \fIkey.pem\fR).
.PP
Note the \fIcerts/\fR directory layout matches the one from certbot (client for
Let\*(Aqs Encrypt CA), so you can just symlink \fIcerts/\fR to
\&\fI/etc/letsencrypt/live\fR.
The layout from the NixOS ACME module (\fI/var/lib/acme\fR) is also supported.
.PP
Make sure the user you use to run chasquid under ("mail" in the example
config) can access the certificates and private keys.
