git(1) produced diff to set permissions  on /tmp after install of -runtime

Hi,

In deploying pkgbase on a lot of the machines I manage, I find that installing
the runtime pkg resets permissions on my /tmp and removes the sticky bit. This
is pretty unfriendly, unfortunately, for programs not run as root that create
temp files. This is reproducible just by installing the -runtime pkg on a
machine with /tmp at 1777 like in a standard install.

On one hand, pkg(8) probably shouldn't be overwriting permissions on a
directory that it didn't create. On the other hand, if /tmp doesn't exist (say,
installing into a new jail environment or something to that effect) then the
runtime pkg should probably be setting sensible permissions since it's not a
directory that had previously existed.

I'm attaching a patch to set sensible permissions (1777) on /tmp in accordance
with bsdconfig behavior to address the latter part of my previous paragraph,
which would alleviate this problem.
