[bug #19546] mkdir -p should use default ACL for parent directories

[Matt McCutchen]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #19546 (project coreutils):

This could be considered one part of bug #28891.

For now, I've written a simple, hacky patch (attached) that makes "mkdir -p"
unconditionally observe default ACLs for ancestor directories but does not
change the behavior for the actual argument directory.  This should be enough
for "mkdir -p -m 755" to give usable permissions when installing software. 
Others might wish to use this patch until a complete solution is available.

(file #19699)
