#2711: Clean needs to be run as root

I have a poorly-behaved build step that leaves files behind as root
if a build is interrupted. (This is clearly user error; the build step
should clean up after itself better when killed, or the insane use of root
during build should be removed.)
The consequence of this is that the next build fails because
the build directory cannot be deleted; the error is
rm: cannot remove `/home/buildbot/slave-
state/ubu1204/foo/bar/build/src/xdir/bletch': Permission denied
xdir and bletch are both owned by root.
I'm configuring the source step like this:
factory.addStep(Git(repourl=repourl, mode='full', submodules=True,
method='copy', branch=sbranch, getDescription={'tags':True}))
and what's failing is the very first thing in copy:
def copy(self):
cmd = buildstep.RemoteCommand('rmdir',...)
I see that, at least on the slave side, there are some workarounds
for bad permissions (in buildslave/commands/base.py, doClobber()
will do a chmod first), but I don't think that is invoked here, and in any
case, can't handle ownership problems.
It might be nice if there were a "chownOnRemoveFailure" option
on the git step that would pass a "withExtremePrejudice=true" parammeter
to the remote rmdir.
