Description

Log files/directories created via the file transport should be able to have configurable permissions and ownership (uid/gid).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to implement configurable file permissions (mode) and ownership (uid/gid) in the winston file transport. Look at Node.js fs.open options and fs.chmod, and consider how to pass these options through the transport configuration.
