Change calling conventions for filldir_t

filldir_t instances (directory iterators callbacks) used to return 0 for
"OK, keep going" or -E... for "stop".  Note that it's *NOT* how the
error values are reported - the rules for those are callback-dependent
and ->iterate{,_shared}() instances only care about zero vs. non-zero
(look at emit_dir() and friends).

So let's just return bool ("should we keep going?") - it's less confusing
that way.  The choice between "true means keep going" and "true means
stop" is bikesheddable; we have two groups of callbacks -
	do something for everything in directory, until we run into problem
and
	find an entry in directory and do something to it.

The former tended to use 0/-E... conventions - -E<something> on failure.
The latter tended to use 0/1, 1 being "stop, we are done".
The callers treated anything non-zero as "stop", ignoring which
non-zero value did they get.

"true means stop" would be more natural for the second group; "true
means keep going" - for the first one.  I tried both variants and
the things like
	if allocation failed
		something = -ENOMEM;
		return true;
just looked unnatural and asking for trouble.
