When running as a session (non-root) daemon, system hook directories (/etc/libvirt/hooks/<driver>.d/) may not be readable by the user, causing EACCES errors that abort hook execution. Switch from virDirOpenIfExists() to virDirOpenQuiet() in virHookCheckDir() and handle both ENOENT and EACCES gracefully by skipping inaccessible directories instead of failing.
