[Bug translator/11729] New: option for procfs files to specify permissions

["fche at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

It can be useful to let a script specify that the procfs("foo").read/write
control files may be more open than 0600 permissions.  For example, an
unprivileged user may need to be permitted to pass data to a stap module.

Consider adding an optional .permissions() probe point component:
   probe procfs("foo").permissions(0444).read { }
