 When adding control socket support to chutney (#21462), I discovered that
 relays set their data directory permissions to 0700 as a side-effect of
 adding keys to the keys directory.

 But clients don't, because they don't have any (filesystem) keys.

 Is the client state file worth protecting with 0700?
 Would we have many fewer ControlSocket permissions errors if we changed
 the DataDirectory to 0700?
