Use umask() to Constrain Created File Permissions

This commit addresses #2491.

Note that a downside of this solution is that it is global: `umask()` affects
all file creation calls in the process. I believe this is safe since
`fileio.c` functions should only ever be used in the zstd binary, and these
are (almost) the only files ever created by zstd, and AIUI they're only
created in a single thread. So we can get away with messing with global state.

Note that this doesn't change the permissions of files created by `dibio.c`.
I'm not sure what those should be...
