Fix the asynchronous cleaning of readonly directories.

Previously, clean --async would silently fail to remove files in read-only
directories. Such directories arise from tree artifacts or unsandboxed actions
writing junk into the output tree. This change makes sure all directories can be
edited before executing the "rm -rf".

The limits of shelling out come into relief in this CL. A more solid approach
would be daemonizing a native utility that executes the code backing the VFS's
Path.deleteTreesBelow method. That would ensure synchronous and asynchronous
cleans have the same erasure capabilities and pave the way for cross-platform
--async support. This CL takes a small step in that direction by replacing
arcane shell daemonization with Bazel's daemonize tool.

Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/12125.

Closes #12452.
