Permissions fix for /tmp/plexinstaller.log #272

This is more of a feature request. I realize that this is also a Plex problem and not something caused by plexupdate but I think it would be nice to have plexupdate clean up after an update.

The issue is that plex leaves an installation file /tmp/plexinstaller.log and gives it permissions of 755. So it makes it executable. Any programs like chkrootkit are going to flag that as a problem because you don't want random executables showing up in /tmp

So I was wondering what you might think about having plexupdate run a chmod 644 /tmp/plexinstaller.log or something similar after a successful update?

The Plex team is going to change the permissions after the install. https://forums.plex.tv/t/permissions-fix-for-tmp-plexinstaller-log/548154
