Test for permission errors fails as root

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When running unit tests as root (i.e. as part of a install process that runs as 
root) one test fails because root can still read files with 0 for permissions. 
Attached is a pretty trivial way to skip the test that is compatible with any 
version of python. A fancier way in >= 2.7 would be to call self.skipTest().

python-gflags users should migrate to absl-py:
https://github.com/abseil/abseil-py
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/absl-py/

It is the modern version of this library.
