local_file resource should have modes, not set executable bit by default

[kojiromike]

Terraform Version

0.9.5

Affected Resource(s)

• local_file

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "local_file" "foo" {
  content = "contents"
  filename = "foo.txt"
}

My umask here is 0022

Expected Behavior

A file should have been created with mode -rw-r--r--.

Actual Behavior

A file was created with mode -rwxr-xr-x.

Humble Opinions

While I would prefer the option of providing a specific mode in tf configuration, I think Terraform should fallback to supporting the standard behavior of open, which would result in the file not being executable.

The local file should have an attribute to set the mode of the file.
