[Linux] Hub installs Unity Licensing Client as owned by root with all permissions

Package: Hub

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Install Unity Hub with the steps listed in [https://docs.unity3d.com/hub/manual/InstallHub.html#install-hub-linux|https://docs.unity3d.com/hub/manual/InstallHub.html#install-hub-linux]
2. Open the terminal and run “find /opt -xdev -type f -uid 0 -perm 777” which will list all files owned by the root user with all permissions

Expected results: The Unity Hub installer does not create files with this permission set for the root user
Actual results: “/opt/unityhub/UnityLicensingClient_V1/Unity.Licensing.Client” is listed as owned by root with 777 permissions

Reproduced with: 3.8.0, 3.9.0-beta.1

Reproduced on: Ubuntu 22.04
Not reproduced on: No other environment tested

    Sorry for spam posting, but I have removed UnityHub from my environment, so I haven't verified if the LicensingClient needs to have r-x perms for users.

    For any administrators affected, the simplest way to preserve functionality is simply to remove permissions.
    find /opt -xdev -type f -uid 0 -perm 777 -exec chmod go-rwx {} \;

    For those shipping this software, the right way to do so is by creating a service account (perhaps called "unityd" and assigning its configuration files to it.

    This is still the case with 3.10.0

    I'm somewhat unsurprised.
