[PATCH] Fix permissions of DEF_CLASS_OBJ ACL entry

Cygwin returns permissions 0777 in the DEF_CLASS_OBJ ("default:mask:") 
ACL entry. This patch changes this to 07. The upper bits 0770 probably 
do not make any sense here.

The value 0777 is one reason why rsync may set bogus permissions.
(The other reason is that rsync always expects a DEF_OTHER_OBJ entry. 
This is likely a rsync bug which should be fixed upstream)
