Description:
LOAD DATA INFILE "no-such-file" into table ...
fails as expected.

LOAD DATA INFILE "no-such-dir/no-such-file" into table ...
fails as expected.

However, the error code reported is 29 and 13 respectively (on linux),
and the message is :

load data infile "no-such-file" into table t1 (a);
ERROR HY000: File '.../no-such-file' not found (Errcode: 2)
load data infile "no-such-dir/no-such-file" into table t1 (a);
ERROR HY000: Can't get stat of '.../no-such-dir/no-such-file' (Errcode: 2)

See man 2 stat (Linux)

Expected result :
- return an error defined sql_state.h, not "General error" HY000
- return an error that is not platform dependent, so it's trappable.
- document the returned error for these cases

How to repeat:
See above

Suggested fix:
