The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after
running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure it

heuristics.  The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to
check what they really require.

* jk/sanity:
  test-lib.sh: set prerequisite SANITY by testing what we really need
  tests: correct misuses of POSIXPERM
