Let system_server truncate tombstones.

There's no way to atomically unlink a specific file for which we have an fd from
a path, which means that we can't safely delete a tombstone without coordination
with tombstoned, which is risky. For example, if we use flock on the directory,
and system_server crashes while holding the lock, we risk deadlock.

We do the next best thing, and keep a file descriptor around for every
tombstone, and truncate it, which requires system_server to be able to
write to tombstones (which are owned by the system group).
