[PATCH] AtomicFile: set mode of a new file to the mode returned by os.stat()

[Bartosz Oler]

Hi!

On Linux, symlinks always have mode 0777, thus if using os.lstat() and 
realfile is a symlink, then the permissions of a tmpfile (new file) will be 
0777. That's unexpected behaviour.

Frankly, I have no idea how this works on Windows and the test case probably 
will fail there. :|

Btw, this patch also fixes #4559.


take care,
Bartosz
