Fix testsuite cleanup warnings on AIX with NFS.

* tests/testsuite.at [ aix ]: Set file mode creation so that
'others' have no permissions.  Shared libraries are kept in
memory on AIX after use if they are world-readable, which means
on NFS mounts cleanup of test group directories will fail later.
* THANKS: Update.
Report and analysis by Michael Haubenwallner.
