backups: Set proper permissions for backups-data directory

Fixes: #2554

- Update permissions on the backups-data directory so that files are only
accessible by root users.

- Ensure that the directory is created by the 'backups' app and not by each of
the apps that take the backup.

Tests:

- Run functional tests for miniflux, dynamicdns, wordpress, zoph, and nextlcoud.
There was an unrelated functional test case failure in nextcloud.

- On a fresh installation, apply patch. Service is restarted. The directory is
created with proper permissions and ownership.

- On a fresh installation, without the patch. Backup the dynamicdns app. The
directory is created with incorrect permissions. Apply the patch. Service is
restarted. Proper permissions are set on the directory.

- On a setup with incorrect permissions, re-run backups app's setup. The
permissions are updated correctly.
