When trying to garbaged collect diretories if a file or a directory that the runbot user process own is not writable for the owner, the garbage collecting fails.
The worst case is when both a file and its parent directory are not writable by the user. In that case, even by changing the file permission, the runbot cannot remove the file because of the directory not being writable.
With this commit, a new
rmforestfunction is made that tries, in case of permission error, to change the owner permission of the file and its parent directory to being writable before retrying to unlink them.
