lib: unmask mode_t values with 0o777

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/joyeecheung/unmask-mode into master

This commit allows permission bits higher than 0o777 to go through the API (e.g. S_ISVTX=0o1000, S_ISGID=0o2000, S_ISUID=0o4000).

Also documents that these bits are not exposed through fs.constants and their behaviors are platform-specific, so the users need to use them on their own risk.
