tests.test_utils.TestSCUtils.test_safe_makedirs andtest_ensure_file_writable_and_delete_if_not fail to run if run as root

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

autopkgtest runs adt-run as root.

The following tests fails when run as root because root as permission to do what would be denied to a normal user:
======================================================================
FAIL: test_ensure_file_writable_and_delete_if_not (tests.test_utils.TestSCUtils)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tests/test_utils.py", line 196, in test_ensure_file_writable_and_delete_if_not
    self.assertFalse(os.access(test_file_not_writeable.name, os.W_OK))
AssertionError: True is not false

======================================================================
FAIL: test_safe_makedirs (tests.test_utils.TestSCUtils)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tests/test_utils.py", line 221, in test_safe_makedirs
    self.assertRaises(OSError, safe_makedirs, target)
AssertionError: OSError not raised

----------------------------------------------------------------------

They should be skipped if run as root or change to another user. In the latter case, care must be taken that this test user as proper access to the source during the run (otherwise the run will hang)
