Check CONTRIBUTING guideline first and here is the list to help us investigate the problem.

Describe the bug
We we run Fluentd without the supervisor mode (in order to save some memory), the in_unix plugin no longer works because chumask is not set without the supervisor mode and there is a permission denied error with var/run/td-agent/td-agent.sock.

$ ls -l /var/run/google-fluentd/google-fluentd.sock
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 14 04:28 /var/run/google-fluentd/google-fluentd.sock

To Reproduce

1. Add this configuration

<source>
  @type unix
  path /var/run/google-fluentd/google-fluentd.sock
</source>

2. Start Fluentd without supervisor
3. The generated /var/run/google-fluentd/google-fluentd.sock file can not be written:

$ ls -l /var/run/google-fluentd/google-fluentd.sock
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 14 04:28 /var/run/google-fluentd/google-fluentd.sock

Expected behavior
The permission should be srwxrwxrwx.

Your Environment

• Fluentd or td-agent version:

$ gem list | grep  fluentd
fluentd (1.7.4)

• Operating system:

$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="16.04.4 LTS (Xenial Xerus)"

Additional context

It seems like that for standalone worker mode, we are setting chuser and chgroup, but not chumask.
