Missing rule for leading zero in file mode
Missing rule in to check for leading zero in file mode. When using a mode that includes a leading zero it must be wrapped in single quotes. If the value is not wrapped in quotes it will be read by YAML as an integer and evaluated as an octal.

**Source:** https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.file.html#module-salt.states.file

**Possible Solution**
Create a regex to check if the mode has a leading zero and doesn't use quotes. Simple example for a regex rule: [lib/saltlint/rules/JinjaVariableHasSpacesRule.py](https://github.com/roaldnefs/salt-lint/blob/master/lib/saltlint/rules/JinjaVariableHasSpacesRule.py). Don't forget to add a test, e.g.: [tests/unit/TestJinjaVariableHasSpaces.py](https://github.com/roaldnefs/salt-lint/blob/master/tests/unit/TestJinjaVariableHasSpaces.py).
