chmod -R -L: the path is lost for a dangling symlink below the operand #16152
chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink 'd/dang'
uutils (main):
chmod: No such file or directory
With -v, GNU also prints 'd/dang' could not be accessed after the error; uutils prints nothing.
In safe_traverse_dir (src/uu/chmod/src/chmod.rs), when metadata_at fails, only the PermissionDenied case gets the entry path; other errors go through err.into() without it.
For a dangling symlink given as the operand itself, chmod already prints the GNU error; its -v line is covered by #15883.
