File Resource should have a property for Setting Permissions Using Letter Notation

[NAshwini]

Describe the Enhancement:

File resource required to set a permission in letter notation format.

Setting Permissions Using Letter Notation

The syntax for using letter notation is:
chmod [access class][operator][letter permission] file

Access classes are indicated using initials, as follows:

1. u for user
2. g for group
3. o for other
4. a for all three: user and group and other
   You can combine initials together. For example, uo would stand for user and other.

The operators are the following:

1. '+' to add a permission
2. '-' to remove a permission
3. '=' to set a permission
   The permission types being manipulated are indicated using letter notation as described above.

chmod Numeric Notation Example:
To add execute permission to user for the file example.html, you would use the following command:
chmod u+x example.html

Describe the Need:

We have few CIS controls which has not a complete details for one of the access class so we could not use mode property
eg:
https://github.com/chef/improvised_cookbooks/pull/1/files#diff-4eb1f94dfc9cba81c26467ba2dc078f1bd8b44c0a31e032db70866e6bef9c280R333

  execute "Ensures  users' dot files are not group or world writable" do
     command "chmod go-w #{file}"
   end

Current Alternative

Currently we are using execute resource.
