os: support deleting read-only files in RemoveAll on older Windows versions

The Windows implementation of RemoveAll supports deleting read-only
files only on file systems that supports POSIX semantics and on
newer Windows versions (Windows 10 RS5 and latter).

For all the other cases, the read-only bit was not clearer before
deleting read-only files, so they fail to delete.

Note that this case was supported prior to CL 75922, which landed on
Go 1.25.

Fixes #75922
