[bug] C-u org-update-statitics-cookies errors out with "Non-existent agenda file" if current file isn't saved |

* Reproduction
1. emacs -Q
2. C-x C-f /tmp/new.org RET
3. Type anything
4. Type C-u C-c # (C-u org-update-statistics-cookies) to try to update all
statistics cookies in the buffer
5. Notice the "Non-existent agenda file /tmp/new.org." error.
This doesn't happen if the file already exists.
I first saw this reported in this reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/n9g1yf/is_this_a_bug_with_orgupdatestatisticcookies/
(u/flyin1501 is me)
* Expectation
All statistics cookies in the buffer are updated no matter if the buffer's
associated file is already created or not.
* Why this is happening
- `org-update-statistics-cookies` (C-c #) uses `org-map-entries` to update all
cookies.
- `org-map-entries` uses `org-agenda-prepare-buffers` to prepare the file when
SCOPE is nil. Excerpt:
(if (not scope)
(progn
(org-agenda-prepare-buffers
(and buffer-file-name (list buffer-file-name)))
(setq res
(org-scan-tags
func matcher org--matcher-tags-todo-only start-level)))
- This function complains if the file does not exist, causing the error.
* Solution (IMO)
`org-map-entries` is quite complex because of its matching and scoping
features; `org-update-statistics-cookies` only updates the current buffer and
should use `org-map-region` instead. IMO it should go from
(if all
(progn
(org-update-checkbox-count 'all)
(org-map-entries 'org-update-parent-todo-statistics))
to:
(if all
(progn
(org-update-checkbox-count 'all)
(org-map-region 'org-update-parent-todo-statistics (point-min)
(point-max)))
