Item13631: Configure reports false permission errors on some advanced file systems. Solution: use filetest 'access';

In the attempt to get the latest Foswiki, 2.0.1, up and running on our environment I found two cases so far where Foswiki tests suboptimal for write access to files. See also Tasks.Item2351. This leads to wrong error messages in configure.

• lib\Foswiki\Configure\Checkers\Htpasswd\LockFileName.pm

I guess, the problem is related to every if ( !-w $file ) {....
