Handle not executable directories for os.listdir

[nineteendo]

Bug report

Bug description:

I have a directory with "rw-" permisions with a file inaccessible.txt:

>>> import os
>>> os.listdir("directory")
['inaccessible.txt']
>>> os.path.exists("directory/inaccessible.txt")
False

That's inconsistent behaviour: os.listdir says directory/inaccessible.txt exists, while os.path.exists says it does not.
This can be solved simply be raising a PermissionError (or a subclass) for os.listdir when the directory is not executable.
I can't think of any situation outside of a CTF where it would be useful to be able to list the files in such directories.

Note that this is different from a directory with "-wx" permisions with a file secret.txt:

>>> import os
>>> os.listdir("directory")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'directory'
>>> os.path.exists("directory/secret.txt")
True

In this case, files can still be accessed if you know the filename.

CPython versions tested on:

3.12

@eryksun, what do you think?

@terryjreedy, this is technically not related to pathlib. Though it would change the behaviour of pathlib.Path.iterdir().

os.stat() and os.listdir() propagate errors from your operating system rather than raising OSError artificially. This is not a bug, and you'll need to gather support on the ideas forum first if you want to change it.
