In go 1.16 the ioutil package was deprecated and
the functions should be replaced by their equivalents
in either io or os packages. This means,
that ioutil.WriteFile should be replaced by
os.WriteFile instead. To account for this change
and to detect incorrect permissions also for os.WriteFile
I changed filePermissions rule slightly to allows
specifying multiple packages that can contain given
function and that we should check. This workaround
can be removed after a sufficient time has passed
and after it is decided that checking os.WriteFile
is enough.

Fixes: #576
