Permissions: when opening a folder that includes files/folders without user perms a confusing error is thrown

I hit this originally in Workbench, where this may occur more frequently than a local install but I was able to reproduce locally as well.

Using the Workbench instance here: https://dev.palm.ptd.posit.it/

If I open the /home/ directory which includes all Users. I can click Add Deployment but then this error is thrown:

Unable to continue with project inspection failure. An error has occurred at newDeployment, configurations.inspect, Msg=Cannot read properties of null (reading 'forEach')

I was able to reproduce this locally by opening / (root) dir and clicking Add Deployment.

@mmarchetti : you're right, this also happens on empty folders

This is an API bug; curl output is a literal null.

We now get a proper error when we detect no entrypoints due to permissions or empty folders.
