It seems strange to me to default to assume-exec=false in the code of
`elfdeps`, but turn on `--assume-exec` by default. If we do not want to track
executability of ELFs, we would better switch the defaults in the code and
allow to add `--no-assume-exec` for example if needed.

@mikhailnov I'm confused by your comment? We don't specify paths at all because
executables and libraries can be anywhere on the filesystem...

Here you force to generate requires for non-executable files in e.g. /usr/bin
or elsewhere, does it make sense?
To my mind it does make sense to generate requires and provides for non
executable `%_libdir/*.so*` because they are not required to be executable to
work.

This change adds `--assume-exec` option to `elfdeps` and splits up the file
attrs for ELF executables and libraries so that libraries are not required to
be executable.
This patch originates from SUSE Linux, but is commonly used across the Mandriva
family as well (Mageia, OpenMandriva, ROSA).
