The basic permission bits (protection bits in AmigaOS) have been broken in Linux' affs - it would only set bits, but never delete them. Also, contrary to the documentation, the Archived bit was not handled.

Let's fix this for good, and set the bits such that Linux and classic AmigaOS can coexist in the most peaceful manner.

Also, update the documentation to represent the current state of things.

Thanks, patch looks good to me, I'll send a pull request to Linus this week.
