There is no easy way to set permission to directories in collecting static files

[Vajrasky Kok]

This is the continuation of ticket #21219. Right now, the files will get permissions from FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS (unless you subclass the static files storage class and set file_permissions) in collecting static files, but not directories. Directories will not get permission from FILE_UPLOAD_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS (or FILE_UPLOAD_FILE_PERMISSIONS).

I suggest that we add feature where the directories in collecting static files will get permission be default from FILE_UPLOAD_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS (unless we subclass the static file storage class and set directory_permissions attributes).

Fixed #21380 -- Added a way to set different permission for static directories.

Previously when collecting static files, the directories would receive permissions
from the global umask. Now the default permission comes from FILE_UPLOAD_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS
and there's an option to specify the permissions by subclassing any of the
static files storage classes and setting the directory_permissions_mode parameter.
