Archiver should have an option to preserve directory/file mode

Details

Description

Currently the archiver does not provide a way to preserve the dir/file mode of entries being added to an archive. This is very useful in cases where a directory structure being added to an archive already has the correct file permissions and the user does not want to manually specify the structure programmatically. There is also a use case for multi-stage complex builds where multiple archives are extracted and combined to make a master archive and manually having to specify individual file permissions is tedious and error prone.

Great!
Could also be useful to fix PLXCOMP-64, right ?

When no default dir/file modes are set for an archive, and the OS != windows, modes will be detected from the filesystem.
