[BUG] testCreateEmptyDirNoPermissions when running gradle check in docker container

[peterzhuamazon]

Just grab a centos7 docker container like this one:
https://hub.docker.com/r/opensearchstaging/ci-runner/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated&name=ci-runner-centos7-gradle-check-v1

Export these envvar:
JAVA11_HOME="/opt/java/openjdk-11
JAVA17_HOME="/opt/java/openjdk-17"
JAVA8_HOME="/opt/java/openjdk-8"
JAVA_HOME="/opt/java/openjdk-17"

Check out main or 2.0 branch, run ./gradlew check --no-daemon --no-scan.

The error log is like this:

> Task :build-tools:test FAILED

org.opensearch.gradle.EmptyDirTaskTests > testCreateEmptyDirNoPermissions FAILED
    java.lang.AssertionError at EmptyDirTaskTests.java:81

org.opensearch.gradle.EmptyDirTaskTests > testCreateEmptyDirNoPermissions FAILED

Looks like we can restrict this test for docker. Just like did here for Windows. @reta since you have worked on something similar for docker here. WDYT?

We unblock this temporarily by not using container, but ec2 instance directly to run gradle check.
