[Mono-list] Delete File on Android

[Rodrigo Kumpera]

This is a bug in the mono runtime that requires a file to be user writeable
to allow it to be deleted.

A fix is in the works and will be part of the next release of Mono for
Android.

As a workaround, set your file to u+w and Delete will work.
