Avoid test failures when root (/) is not readable.
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_readable_root_): New function. * tests/misc/pwd-long: Skip this test when / is unreadable. * tests/du/slash: Likewise. This is required at least for Mandrake/Mandriva in "secure" mode. Reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/12800
