Revert "cmd/build: reject non-existant directories in ImportDir"

This reverts commit 7af2ce3f159760033c903b3730bfb5995b4edd40.

The commit had a wrong prefix in the description line, probably
misreconginized something. As a result it broke golang.org/x/tools/godoc
and golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc like the following:

--- FAIL: TestCLI (10.90s)
--- FAIL: TestWeb (13.74s)
FAIL
FAIL        golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc    36.428s
--- FAIL: TestCommandLine (0.00s)
FAIL
FAIL        golang.org/x/tools/godoc        0.068s
