We shouldn't need coreutils tests in order to detect that a gnulib module
is not working well. I'm extending the ACL tests in gnulib so that they
detect the failure before the fix:

  mode = 4700: tmpfile1 got an ACL
  FAIL: test-set-mode-acl-2.sh
  files tmpfile0 and tmpfile1: different ACL entry #2: different ids -1 and 0
  FAIL: test-copy-acl-2.sh

Basically, it's enough to try different values of TMPDIR, instead of always
trying only TMPDIR=/tmp.
