At LANL, we have use cases that will require nhc and its script files to be readable by normal system users. Previously, several directories owned by the lbnl-nhc RPM package had permissions of 0700 for security/privacy reasons; however, nothing in the RPM itself is privacy- or security-sensitive, so there's no reason to limit functionality unnecessarily.

It's still possible to obtain the prior behavior by building without useraccess (i.e., rpmbuild --without useraccess ...), but the default is now to use the less restrictive permissions.

Closes #122.

Since this changeset is small and easily disabled, I'm going to go ahead and merge this PR.
