[PATCH v1.1] realpath: Bring back GNU extension on ENOENT and EACCES [BZ #28996]

[Siddhesh Poyarekar]

The GNU extension for realpath states that if the path resolution fails
with ENOENT or EACCES and the resolved buffer is non-NULL, it will
contain part of the path that failed resolution.

commit 949ad78a189194048df8a253bb31d1d11d919044 broke this when it
omitted the copy on failure.  Bring it back partially to continue
supporting this GNU extension.

Resolves: BZ #28996
