libbpf: Do not require executable permission for shared libraries
Currently, resolve_full_path() requires executable permission for both programs and shared libraries. This causes failures on distos like Debian since the shared libraries are not installed executable and Linux is not requiring shared libraries to have executable permissions. Let's remove executable permission check for shared libraries.
