Combines _can_bag and _can_read into one function. Instead of compiling a list of every single file and directory that cannot be read/written to, this new function throws an Exception as soon as a problematic file or directory comes up. At most, one walk() operation is completed now, instead of two.
This message said to do do permission checks before changing directories, which is already how the code behaves.

I saw a "TODO" in the code regarding a redundant
os.walkoperation when checking whether a Bag can actually be created or not, which this pull request addresses.I've combined
_can_bagand_can_readinto one function thatwalk()s through the bag directory at most once (instead of twice). Additionally, I am raising an exception when an unreadable/unwriteable file/dir is encountered. This is opposed to the previous method of compiling a complete list of all unreadable/unwriteable items, printing them, and then throwing an exception. The offending file name is now included in the exception rather than returned in a tuple.
