feat: add comprehensive readonly file regression tests for cp

- Add 10 new test functions covering readonly destination behavior
- Tests cover basic readonly copying, flag combinations, and edge cases
- Include macOS-specific clonefile behavior tests
- Ensure readonly file protection from PR #5261 cannot regress
- Tests provide evidence for closing issue #5349
