ELF ET_DYN files can be shared libraries, executable files or both. Requiring shared libraries that cannot actually be executed (or segfault when you do so) is dumb, but rpm has traditionally required executable bit to be set for requires to be generated.
Change the definition of "executable" to mean files that actually *can* be executed, ie those with PT_INTERP, and only require executable bit to be set for requires-dependencies generation on those. In other words, pure shared libraries will have requires generated regardless of their permission, but executable files can disable that by disabling the on-disk executable bit.
