test: skip setPriority test if insufficient permissions

[aduh95]

Fixes: NixOS/nixpkgs#355919

[LiviaMedeiros]

I'm not sure this is correct approach.

According to NixOS/nixpkgs#355919 (comment), the issue in NixOS happened without having a094a81? In this case, it would make sense to try cherry-picking a094a81 itself because it fixes EACCES (assuming niceness there works the same way as in Linux, and assuming it happened because the niceness in build system was set lower than 10; otherwise it looks like a bug to me).

@nodejs/fs can I get some reviews please?

Not blocking it as-is, since there are platforms that do not allow setting lower priority (which is IMHO a bug, i don't see why it should be restricted intentionally), and assuming unbreaking their build being urgent.
But if we ignore EACCES, it's better to remove this part of test completely, because it's already covered by test-os-process-priority.js.

Suggested change

	if (!common.isIBMi) {
	const { PRIORITY_BELOW_NORMAL, PRIORITY_LOW } = os.constants.priority;
	const LOWER_PRIORITY = os.getPriority() > PRIORITY_BELOW_NORMAL ? PRIORITY_BELOW_NORMAL : PRIORITY_LOW;

[LiviaMedeiros]

Suggested change

	try {
	os.setPriority(LOWER_PRIORITY);
	const priority = os.getPriority();
	is.number(priority);
	assert.strictEqual(priority, LOWER_PRIORITY);
	} catch (err) {
	// The current user might not have sufficient permissions to set this
	// specific priority level.
	if (err?.info?.code !== 'EACCES') throw err;
	}
	}
