applied, thanks!

IMO it might be worth doing this more centrally, e.g., catch a ENOENT in
the upid_read_status's `File::open(path)` call and return either
`TaskState::Unknown { endtime: upid.startime }`, which is also the
default of upid_read_status on other (parsing) errors, or add a new
`TaskState::NotFound` state to differ between a unknown result and this
situation, and make it more likely that call-sites handle this
explicitly.

What do you think?
