[OE-core] [PATCH 0/1] improvements to acl-ptest

The acl tests assume that umask is 022 (or similar) by default
for some of the permissions tests. The existing run-ptest script
also assumes availability of gpasswd, which we tend to remove by
default, and that the current filesystem supports ACLs. Fix
this by adding a line to the test script for the umask, and making
run-ptest use direct sed to alter /etc/group (it really does need
to) and use a temporary filesystem. (This creates a requirement for
mkfs.ext3, which may be a problem, but it works in our usual
environment, so I figure I'll leave it that way for now?)

The following changes since commit 2fef37fab6967410aff33744c8843bcae028de56:

  gcc: Security fix CVE-2016-4490 (2016-05-17 14:42:18 +0100)
