Keep exec mode on file copy

[jdespatis]

Hello,

I'm using this.copy("fromFile.sh", "toFile.sh") to copy a file which has 0755 as chmod on a Linux.
This chmod is lost on the copy and not applied to toFile.sh

Why not adding a third param keepMode to actions.copy and actions.template, to tell to keep or not the mode?

Or maybe keep the mode by default (espacially the +x mod, if it applies to current OS) ?

And if exec mode is kept, it would be nice to add a specific color during the copy process on the shell to show executables that have been copied :)

I think copying modes should be the default. Looking into it.

@passy here too I think it should be modeled after the grunt.file.copy method.

@sindresorhus Looks like grunt.file.copy doesn't retain the file permissions. :/

Thanks for this feature added to yeoman.
I'll play with it as soon as it will be released :)

I close as @passy has done the appropriate PR
Closing is so good...
