[TYPO3-core] RFC: Fix default values of fileCreateMask/folderCreateMask

This is a CVS patch request.

Problem:
Files and directories are by default group writable.

Solution:
Remove the write attribut and make files 644 and folders 755 by default.

Comment:
This was discussed on the dev list several times. Some people did not agree 
with it, but I think I could convince them all ;-)
My main reasons for changing it are that a) Unix creates new files the same 
way, and b) Installations should be secure by default, not open.

After all I don't know if this causes a lot of trouble because usually the 
group owner is the same as the user who owns the files unless "createGroup" 
is set manually. In that case, it should be clear that the createMask needs 
to be changed.
