We had two similar bugs in the tests sporadically triggering error messages during the removal of the trash directory, see commits bb05510e5 (t5510: run auto-gc in the foreground, 2016-05-01) and ef09036cf (t6500: wait for detached auto gc at the end of the test script, 2017-04-13). The test script succeeded nonetheless, because these errors are ignored during housekeeping in 'test_done'.

However, such an error is a sign that something is fishy in the test script. Print an error message and abort the test script when the trash directory can't be removed successfully or is already removed, because that's unexpected and we woud prefer somebody notice and figure out why.

Note, that the commit message references ef09036cf (t6500: wait for detached auto gc at the end of the test script, 2017-04-13), which is still only in 'pu'.
