When invoking `packer plugins install' to install a plugin, or `packer
init', the checksum file would be installed with 0555 permissions.
This led in turn to further attempts at installing the plugin will
succeed, but the checksum file would not be updated, as it was marked
non-writable by the owner of the file, leading potentially to a
situation where the plugin binary and the checksum would be out-of-sync,
but could not be updated unless the user changed it.
To avoid such a problem, we write the checksum file with 0644
permissions, so the owner can read/write, while the other users can only
read it.
