Revise denote-sort-dired buffer setup
We want the buffer to revert properly. Files that do not exist anymore
should not inhibit it and subsequent calls to 'denote-sort-dired'
should use their own separate buffer.

This was discussed at length in issue 618 with the participation of
Alan Schmitt and Rory Molinari: <https://github.com/protesilaos/denote/issues/618>.

denote: Simple notes with an efficient file-naming scheme

Denote is a simple note-taking tool for Emacs. It is based on the idea that notes should follow a predictable and descriptive file-naming scheme. The file name must offer a clear indication of what the note is about, without reference to any other metadata. Denote basically streamlines the creation of such files while providing facilities to link between them.

Denote's file-naming scheme is not limited to "notes". It can be used for all types of file, including those that are not editable in Emacs, such as videos. Naming files in a consistent way makes their filtering and retrieval considerably easier. Denote provides relevant facilities to rename files, regardless of file type.
