Issue Description:
FileManager.removeItem(atPath: ) leaks when removing a non-empty directory, as shown in this repro:
func removeItem() throws -> () {
let fm = FileManager()
while true {
let _ = try fm.createDirectory(atPath: "/tmp/foo", withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: [:])
let _ = fm.createFile(atPath: "/tmp/foo/bar", contents: nil)
try fm.removeItem(atPath: "/tmp/foo/")
}
}Looks like the issue is that Foundation.FileManager.fileSystemRepresentation returns a C-string that is not free'd in the caller (and can't be free'd by an autorelease pool on Linux).
