rpm: Do not require that ELF binaries are executable to be identifiable

There is nothing that requires, e.g., a DSO to be executable, but it
is still an ELF binary and should be identified as such.

+Subject: [PATCH 11/13] Do not require that ELF binaries are executable to be
+ identifiable
+
+There is nothing that requires, e.g., a DSO to be executable, but it
+is still an ELF binary and should be identified as such.
+
+Upstream probably expects all ELF binaries to be marked as executable,
+but rather than imposing such a limitation for OE, allow any file to
+be identified as an ELF binary regardless of whether it is executable
+or not.
