largefiles: when setting/clearing x bit on largefiles, don't change other bits

It is only the X bit that it matters to copy from the standin to the largefile
in the working directory. While it generally doesn't do any harm to copy the
whole mode, it is also "wrong" to copy more than the X bit we care about. It
can make a difference if someone should try to handle largefiles differently,
such as marking them read-only.

Thus, do similar to what utils.setflags does and set the X bit where there are
R bits and obey umask.

Mercurial

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
