New ASP code breaks creating new empty persistence config files when permissions are incorrect

Originally created by @intrigeri on #15802 (Redmine)

The fix for #15781 (closed) (f7c31127) changed the API of disable_and_create_empty_persistence_conf_file and create_empty_persistence_conf_file to fix the bug I had reported, but it did not update all callers of these functions accordingly, so at least 3 of them are now broken: they’re going to call install --mode "" which won’t work.

Please review all users of the function you’ve modified and adjust them. Or give these functions safe defaults back, that your specific use case can override.

This is a blocker for 3.9.
