[3.14] gh-154308: Clear file flags in os_helper.rmtree() (GH-154310) (GH-154315)

On BSD systems a test may leave behind files or directories with flags
such as UF_IMMUTABLE or UF_NOUNLINK set, which prevent the directory from
being modified or removed.  Clear the flags before removing, so cleaning
up a temporary directory does not fail.
(cherry picked from commit 1f649fecb645d70b9c48268839e4177d8fe4e1d1)
