[OE-core] [PATCH 0/7] Sanity class clean ups

[Joshua Lock]

My recent change to the sanity class to warn users when they don't have R/W
permission to their SSTATE_CACHE directory has caused at least a couple of users
trouble, including the Yocto project autobuilder.

I have been unable to reproduce the issue but after discussionwith Elizabeth and
Chris on #yocto I came up with the following series.

The series includes a revert my original change as it seems the simple logic has
severla edge cases. I replace it later in the series with a simple piggy-back
on the existing check_create_long_filename() call, where I make the suggestion
of using SSTATE_MIRRORS if that call fails with "Permission denied" when called
against SSTATE_DIR. This check has been in use for some time and, to the best of
my knowledge, doesn't trigger invalid failures.

Thanks to Chris and Elizabeth for pointers as to why this was failing.

Cheers,

Joshua
