While the umask was previously set for builds (and in fact `docker run`
sets it to 0022 by default), the release pipeline `cp`'s files (with
`-a`) which respect the user's umask, and is outside of the build path.
This sets the umask in a common function called by all build tools,
which Stephen agreed was the simplest and most complete fix. The
`verify-prereqs` function is already poorly named for what it does, and
this only makes it epsilon worse.
