various install_* functions no longer handle the sticky bit

It is not possible to portably grant the sticky bit to a file, and where possible, it doesn't do anything. It is not expected that any users are using this functionality.

Variously:

  • on Linux, it has no meaningful effect
  • on Solaris, attempting to set the permission bit is silently ignored by the OS
  • on FreeBSD, attempting to set the permission bit is an error

Attempting to set this permission bit in the install_mode: kwarg to any function other than install_emptydir will now result in a warning, and the permission bit being ignored.
