It seems like all the methods use 0644.  After the change, it's just
accessible in the filesystem rather than in the sysv shm ether.

It seems like an API gap, APR can't know what the caller expects to do
with it (other than it's not anonymous).
Today I guess a caller could run with a more conservative umask, or
toggle it around calls to apr_shm_create?
