I'd like code review for:

  15686 pkgsend create-repository should not create cfg_cache with mode 0600

webrev:

  http://cr.opensolaris.org/~richlowe/pkg_15686

 
This breaks the -d option of onu(1) in most cases, since onu will be
running as root and translated to 'nobody' by NFS, so I'd like to get it
fixed promptly.  As described in the bug, this was broken by #15190 not
fixing the file permissions after switching to using a temporary file
created by tempfile.mkstemp() rather than clobbering cfg_cache in place.

The change I'm making here preserves the permissions of an existing
cfg_cache and uses 0644 as the default.  I'm still on the fence about
attempting to preserve the existing permissions, in most cases I've
found the code treats the depot directory structure as entirely its own,
but I'm not sure if this is intent, and I'm also not sure it'd be the
right thing to do with cfg_cache anyway.

Further, should this attempt to preserve ownership?  If so, what should
it do if it cannot?
