### Description:

Adds a new diagnostic that checks that the tmp/ directory is not accessible, and checks that, if present, the .git/ directory is not accessible.

Review

  • Functional review done
  • Potential edge cases thought about (behavior of the code with strange input, with strange internal state or possible interactions with other Matomo subsystems)
  • Usability review done (is anything maybe unclear or think about anything that would cause people to reach out to support)
  • Security review done see checklist
  • Code review done
  • Tests were added if useful/possible
  • Reviewed for breaking changes
  • Developer changelog updated if needed
  • Documentation added if needed
  • Existing documentation updated if needed

For reference: I also created a similar check in my plugin that also checks for lang/en.json (less severe, but indicates that the htaccess doesn't work), cache/tracker/matomocache_general.php and config/config.ini.php (also showing a warning if it only outputs ;)

Seems to work as expected now, even though the check would be more accurate if the requests would be performed in the browser and not server side.

Unfortunately I don't think there's an easy way to implement it so an actual browser separate from the server makes those requests. At least none that I can think of.
