Make sure that all "testchmod" arguments start with '0', making it more obvious that the value is octal.

dgp: Isn't the better way to make it obvious the values
are octal to use the explicit octal notation?

For example, [testchmod 0o777 $path] ?

Really seems like a bad idea to me to introduce *more*
incompatibilities for the planned conversion for 
having the value 0777 stop meaning 255 and start
meaning 777 in Tcl 9.

Answer (Jan). You guessed exactly what's my follow-up plan. This was an intermediate step which keeps all test-cases running.
