[docs] [issue33971] os.mknod is subject to "umask"

[James Stevens]

New submission from James Stevens <james.stevens at jrcs.co.uk>:

As per the underlying "libc" call, the node created with "mknod" is subjected to the user's current umask setting.

This is not made clear in the Python documentation, but the "libc" documentation makes this clear (see attached).
