#1453851 — [PATCH 0244/1285] Replace numeric parameter like 0444 with macro

I find that the developers often just specified the numeric value
when calling a macro which is defined with a parameter for access permission.
As we know, these numeric value for access permission have had the corresponding macro,
and that using macro can improve the robustness and readability of the code,
thus, I suggest replacing the numeric parameter with the macro.

Thanks for the pointer. I missed the discussion but came up with the
same conclusions: a) octals are easier to read and b) original author
should have asked if this change was feasible before posting 1285
patches :(

I assume Wolfram will merge this.
