[JENKINS-20260] Sequential triggering of jobs sometimes fails when the file parameter is read-only

Use-case:

1) Job sequentially triggers builds using the same files as a build parameters. These files have read-only permission. In order to pass parameters to file factory, we use *.txt wildcard

2) Sometimes second triggering fails with "Permission denied" error (see the log below)

3) As i see, files in "builds/${ID}/parameter-files" have read-only attributes from the initial file
