fsck: Warn when core.sharedRepository is set and an annex object file's write bit is not set and cannot be set due to the file being owned by a different user.

Browse source 
Made all Annex.Perms file mode changing functions ignore errors when
core.sharedRepository is set, because the file might be owned by someone
else. I don't fancy getting bug reports about crashes due to set modes in
this configuration, which is a very foot-shooty configuration in the first
place.

The fsck warning is necessary because old repos kept files mode 444, which
doesn't allow locking them, and so if the mode remains 444 due to the file
being owned by someone else, the user should be told about it.
