[BRLTTY] permissions on the brlapi.key file

[kendell clark]

hi

Boy do I feel stupid. I don't have to create a new group or do any of 
that other stuff I talked about. Brltty already provides a group called 
brlapi I can work with. This simplifies things enormously. I'll just 
change the permissions on the file during the last stage of the build 
process, make sure the default user gets added to brlapi, and when 
installed the created user does as well and things should more or less work.

Thanks

Kendell Clark
