The daemon utility has always created its output file with a fixed mode
of 0600. This causes issues for log collection setups where the collector
does not run as root but instead relies on group access to the watched
daemon’s log file.
Introduce a new option that allows specifying the output file mode using
install(1)-style semantics. This enables non-root log collectors to access
the file as intended and improves compatibility with log rotation tools.
