To provide a way to add more security regarding file/folder permissions this PR adds a way to allow setting a custom UMASK variable.

This allows people to set a more secure default like only allowing the owner the the process/container to read/write files and folders.

Examples:

  • UMASK=022 File: 644 | Folder: 755 (Default of the containers)
    This means Owner read/write and group/world read-only

  • UMASK=027 File: 640 | Folder: 750
    This means Owner read/write, group read-only, world no access

  • UMASK=077 File: 600 | Folder: 700
    This means Owner read/write and group/world no access

resolves #4571
