From: Interpreter, filePlugin

Responsibility:
Delete the directory entry if the path name encoded is correct and within file system rules.

Check path length, and confirm we can convert path from squeak representation to operating system needs.
Uses rmdir, so the directory must be empty. Also has to invalidate the directory being iterated over by dir_Lookup and close it if needbe. Obviously need permission to delete, otherwise prim fails
