BUG: Do not copy permissions of files when making the copy in an install rule....

BUG: Do not copy permissions of files when making the copy in an install rule. If the source file was read-only, this prevents the subsequent set of the destination file's modification time, making the copied file always different in time-stamp than the original and always installing a new file with a new time stamp (but the same content) causing unnecessary downstream incremental rebuilds. As part of this fix, add an optional copyPermissions parameter to the SystemTools routines CopyFileIfDifferent, CopyFileAlways, CopyAFile and CopyADirectory. The copyPermissions parameter defaults to true to preserve the behavior of these routines for existing callers.
