What does this PR do?
Fix the return values for os.rmdir and os.remove so they're consistent with the Premake documentation and the standard Lua ones.
How does this PR change Premake's behavior?
These functions now report some status that wasn't reported before, so the user can check it if needed. It was confusing not getting any result values in some cases, specially in a function that overrides the standard Lua library.
Anything else we should know?
I've just tested my changes on macOS. The test suite passes but I'm not sure if there may be anything that relies on the previous behavior (now there are some shortcuts when something can't be removed).
I also added a tiny mostly-unrelated commit to fix some comments on related files, I hope it's okay to have it here.
Did you check all the boxes?
