Use realpath to test existence of PidFile directory

One person's "bloat" is another's "valuable diagnostic" :-)

If you cut down the things that are checked for and can live with less
descriptive errors you can just use realpath().  It still performs a useful
subset of tests (and handles Ben's evilness too) with less code.

# sshd/sshd -t -o 'PidFile /no/such'
Invalid PidFile specification: /no/such (No such file or directory)
# sshd/sshd -t -o 'PidFile /etc/passwd/pidfile'
Invalid PidFile specification: /etc/passwd/pidfile (Not a directory)
# sshd/sshd -t -o 'PidFile /tmp\/myfile.pid'
Invalid PidFile specification: /tmp\\/myfile.pid (No such file or directory)
