Hash :40415b21 Message :tests: use find+rm, not perl, to remove temporary directories.
This change fixes automake bug#39078:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/39078
* t/ax/test-lib.sh (rm_rf_): run chmod -R u+rwx and rm -rf,
instead of calling our t/ax/deltree.pl script. This reverses the
change of 2013-05-16. It made sense to write and use deltree
at that point, but unfortunately as of perl-5.28.0
(File::Path.pm version 2.15), rmtree no longer removes a tree with
unreadable subdirectories, such as we (intentionally) have. So we
might as well go back to rm -rf. The unconditional recursive chmod
instead of the previously-used more complex find command will
hopefully prove portable. See the bug report for more details.
Our deltree.pl is not used for anything else, but nevertheless
leaving it in our source tree for now, for ease of reversion
and comparison.
