[OSSTEST PATCH] MaxUmask: enforce a maximum umask value

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com>]

On some operating systems, the default umask is not 002 as it should
be (for the sensible setup with personal groups).

If a user with an 022 or 077 umask invokes osstest in Executive mode,
they end up creating directories in $c{Logs} which are writeable only
by them, and that can stop the whole system because the service user
cannot expire them.

Prevent this from happening.
