What this PR does / why we need it:
I needed to control permissions on files and directories fluentd creates on disk, to make them accessible only to the user running fluentd:

sh-4.4# find /var/lib/fluentd -ls
100978405      0 drwxr-xr-x   5  root     root           53 Feb  4 04:52 /var/lib/fluentd
157295736      0 drwx------   2  root     root           59 Feb  4 05:01 /var/lib/fluentd/pos
157295739     12 -rw-------   1  root     root        11117 Feb  4 05:02 /var/lib/fluentd/pos/es-containers.log.pos
157295855      4 -rw-------   1  root     root          137 Feb  4 05:01 /var/lib/fluentd/pos/journal_pos.json

 50664000      0 drwxr-xr-x   2  root     root            6 Feb  4 04:52 /var/lib/fluentd/retry_default

Setting the appropriate umask looked like an elegant solution. However, I found it impossible to control the umask of fluentd when it runs with --no-supervisor, as fluentd overrides the umask set in the parent shell.

Docs Changes:
--umask UMASK change umask
needs to be added to https://docs.fluentd.org/deployment/command-line-option
