Item7672: configure dies instead of providing a useful error message in strange situations

Detail

In one probably extremely rare border case which can be reproduced by configuring a log file to /dev/null, configure fails to print a useful error message and simply dies. See TWiki:Support/SID-02079

. Pretty easy to fix once you are aware that this situation can occur.

Turns out that in lib/TWiki/Configure/Checker.pm, the method checkTreePerms is called as a plain sub instead of passing an object as the first parameter. All calls to the method from other modules are correct.
