The following is an alternative way to write this that previously worked "u+rw,u-x".
Make sure both methods are supported by adding an additional check for the "+", "-", and "=".
When adding and removing, the previous opposing bits needs to be reset.
For example "u+rwx-r" should set the "add read" bit and then remove the "add read" bit while setting the "subtract read" bit.
Also absurd forms like the following need to work: "u+rrrrrwx+rwwwxwrwrwrwww" or "u+rwx,g-rwx+wrrr,o+rwx-wwr".
A copy and paste mistake in f_file_mode_to_mode() results in the wrong bits being set for the world bits.
