Bug Description

This seems like a nasty bug, I'm surprised no one's bumped into it yet - I might just be crazy though, in which case, do let me know :)

Here's a snippet off of the rsyncd.conf file on a storage server:
====
# This file is being maintained by Puppet.
# DO NOT EDIT

[ object ]
path = /data/swift
read only = false
write only = no
list = yes
uid = swift
gid = swift
incoming chmod = 0644
outgoing chmod = 0644
max connections = 200
lock file = /var/lock/object.lock
====

I'd like to bring to your attention the default chmod values in there, brought about by these:
- https://github.com/stackforge/puppet-swift/blob/master/manifests/storage/server.pp#L49-L56
- https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-rsync/blob/master/manifests/server/module.pp#L50-L51

When I added some new devices today, I started seeing an anormal rise in the amount of permission denied errors for newly replicated partitions in the Swift logs (haven't quite noticed this before).
It turns out the files were in 644 (which is fine) but the folders were in 644 too, meaning the Swift user could not access them.

What we want for permissions is 755 for the folders and 644 for the files.
After doing some testing, what we want is the following incoming and outgoing chmod:
- incoming chmod = Du=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,Fu=rw,g=r,o=r
- outgoing chmod = Du=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,Fu=rw,g=r,o=r

    Provide a mean to change the default rsync chmod

    puppet-rsync provides a default chmod of 0644.
    puppet-swift, until this commit, did not provide a way
    to change that default chmod.
    According to the experience in bug #1433390, it
    seemed possible for folders to be created in 0644, thus
    denying access to the folders unless you were root.

    Backwards compatibility is maintained through the same
    defaults.. It looks like the default is broken in
    the context of Swift (unless it runs as root?), however.
    We should consider putting 'Du=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,Fu=rw,g=r,o=r'
    which translates to 755 for folders and 644 for files.

    Change defaults fro incoming/outgoing chmod (rsync)

    In a previous release, we sent a warning about the default
    incoming/outgoing chmod that was configured for rsync.
    We mentionned it was risky and people should avoid using 0644 like it
    was by default. For backward compatibility, we kept this default and
    sent a warning.

    2 releases later, this patch aims to change the default and stop to send
    the warning.
