[OE-core] [PATCH] patch: reproducibility: Fix host umask leakage

Some patch files create entirely new files, so their permissions are subject to
the host umask. If such a file is later installed into a package with no change
in permissions, it breaks the reproducibility of the package.

This was observed on libpam, for instance: The patch file
pam-security-abstract-securetty-handling.patch creates a new file
(tty_secure.c). This file is later copied into the -dbg package with no change
in permissions.
