[PATCH v2 3/4] commit-graph.c: write non-split graphs as read-only

In the previous commit, Git learned 'hold_lock_file_for_update_mode' to allow the caller to specify the permission bits (prior to further adjustment by the umask and shared repository permissions) used when acquiring a temporary file.

Use this in the commit-graph machinery for writing a non-split graph to acquire an opened temporary file with permissions read-only permissions to match the split behavior. (In the split case, Git uses git_mkstemp_mode' for each of the commit-graph layers with permission bits '0444').

One can notice this discrepancy when moving a non-split graph to be part of a new chain. This causes a commit-graph chain where all layers have read-only permission bits, except for the base layer, which is writable for the current user.

Resolve this discrepancy by using the new 'hold_lock_file_for_update_mode' and passing the desired permission bits.

Doing so causes some test fallout in t5318 and t6600. In t5318, this occurs in tests that corrupt a commit-graph file by writing into it. For these, 'chmod u+w'-ing the file beforehand resolves the issue. The additional spot in 'corrupt_graph_verify' is necessary because of the extra 'git commit-graph write' beforehand (which *does* rewrite the commit-graph file). In t6600, this is caused by copying a read-only commit-graph file into place and then trying to replace it. For these, make these files writable.
