Added system.rmdir(path)

It is reported that the built-in lua function os.remove(path) does
not removes empty directories on windows. To fix this a system.rmdir
function is introduced that calls a native win32 function.

Also common.rm(path, recursively) was added which wraps system.rmdir()
to easily delete an entire folder with all its contents.
