test-lib.sh: set prerequisite SANITY by testing what we really need
What we wanted out of the SANITY precondition is that the filesystem behaves sensibly with permission bits settings. - You should not be able to remove a file in a read-only directory, - You should not be able to tell if a file in a directory exists if the directory lacks read or execute permission bits. We used to cheat by approximating that condition with "is the / writable?" test and/or "are we running as root?" test. Neither test is sufficient or appropriate in environments like Cygwin.
