In PTL
- the existing interface to create temporary file return file name and file descriptor (FD). If test case create a file as different users than the current user the file FD is invalid as current user can't make use the returned FD.
- For file copy operation PTL by default does copy file with keeping original permission and then change owner and permissions of file
Enhancements:
- New interface to create a temporary file
- update Adding a new parameter 'preserve_permission' to run_copy() to override the default file copy operation to not keep original permission by default this will avoid additional chmod.

...
Details:
Added a new parameter keeppreserve_permission. Default preserve_permission= FalseTrue.
The existing interface executes cp command with -p flag which preserves owner,group permissions of source file.
If the param 'keeppreserve_permission= False' then run_copy() will copy file without keeping original permission (i.e cp without -p flag).
If the param 'keeppreserve_permission= True' then run_copy() will continue existing behavior as it is (i.e cp with -p flag)
