Virtual filesystems don't always make a distinction between deleting files and empty directories, and sometimes support deleting non-empty directories in a single operation. Here we remove PathBase.unlink() and rmdir(), leaving _delete() as the sole deletion method, now made abstract. I hope to drop the underscore prefix later on.
