Example usage to make the generated cookie group-readable: `./src/bitcoind -rpccookieperms=group`. Accepted values for `-rpccookieperms` are `[owner|group|all]`. We let `fs::perms` handle platform-specific permissions changes. ACKs for top commit: achow101: ACK 73f0a6cbd0b628675028fbd5a37eff8115e7ccfe ryanofsky: Code review ACK 73f0a6cbd0b628675028fbd5a37eff8115e7ccfe. Main change since last review is no longer throwing a skip exception in the rpc test on windows, so other checks can run after it, and overall test result is passing, not skipped. Also were clarifying renames and documentation improvements. tdb3: cr ACK 73f0a6cbd0b628675028fbd5a37eff8115e7ccfe Tree-SHA512: e800d59a44aca10e1c58ca69bf3fdde9f6ccf5eab4b7b962645af6d6bc0cfa3a357701e409c8c60d8d7744fcd33a91e77ada11790aa88cd7811ef60fab86ab11

2019-08-20Unrecommend making config file owned by bitcoinsetpill
The bitcoin user needs read access to the configuration file, but write access is not needed. It is not considered best practice to make configuration directories and files owned by the services reading them.
