downgrade fetch writability error to warning



I propose the following small change:

-----

The non-writability check for DISTDIR is intended to prevent wasting
resources when fetchers wouldn't be able to save what they download. On
my build farm with pkgsrc (and pkgsrc/distfiles) mounted over NFS,
however, the check gives false positives for NetBSD 9.2 and -current.
Downgrade it to a warning so that these fetches can succeed, while
leaving a breadcrumb in case someone encounters a true positive.

It would of course be interesting to sort out why, in my environment, a
wide variety of other OSes get 1 for "${TEST} ! -w $fetchdir" while
NetBSD gets 0.
