Add -W/--writable function to checkpath

Checkpath -W will use access(3p) to determine whether or not a path is
writable. This is more accurate than test(1p) because it also takes into
account whether or not the filesystem is mounted read-only.

Modified by William Hubbs to add the man page update.
