Tests that depend on filesystem permissions FAIL if run on Windows or as
root. Add a helper function to detect those cases, so the tests can skip
those checks gracefully.

This causes new failures for bare metal targets where the path tests
run, even though the rest of the filesystem lib isn't supported.
That's because I forgot to make the new function inline, so it gets
compiled in every filesystem test, and so requires a definition of
geteuid even if the function isn't used.

Making the new function inline should be sufficient to fix that.

Tested powerpc64le-linux. Committed to trunk.

    libstdc++: Make permissions_are_testable function inline [PR90787]
    
    This function should be inline, so that's it's not emitted in tests that
    don't use it, to avoid undefined references to geteuid().
