[PATCH v5 05/15] cmake: chmod +x the bin-wrappers/* & SCRIPT_{SH,PERL} & git-p4

Since the cmake file was made to run on *nix in [1] running the tests with "ctest" broken, because we'd attempt to invoke our bin-wrappers/, but they didn't have the executable bit.

In the best case, the "t/test-lib.sh" would be unable to find "bin-wrappers/git", and we'd fall back on "GIT_EXEC_PATH=$GIT_BUILD_DIR" using the fallback behavior added in [2]:

	$ ./t0001-init.sh
	<GIT_BUILD_DIR>/t/../contrib/buildsystems/out/bin-wrappers/git is not executable; using GIT_EXEC_PATH

This was recently somewhat swept under the rug in [3], as ctest would run them with "--no-bin-wrappers". But still with [3], running e.g.:

	cmake -S contrib/buildsystems -B contrib/buildsystems/out -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug &&
	make -C contrib/buildsystems/out &&
	ctest --test-dir contrib/buildsystems/out --jobs="$(nproc)" --output-on-failure

Fails around 20% of our tests on *nix. So even with [3] we'd fail any test that needed to invoke one of our built shell, perl or Python scripts on *nix. E.g. t0012-help.sh would fail on a test that tried to invoke "git web--browse". The equivalent of this (in the "out" directory) would happen:

	$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD web--browse
	git: 'web--browse' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
Which we can fix by "chmod +x"-ing the built "git-web--browse":
	$ chmod +x git-web--browse
	$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD web--browse
	usage: git web--browse [--browser=browser|--tool=browser] [--config=conf.var] url/file ...

The same goes for e.g. the "git-p4" tests, which would fail because our built "git-p4" wasn't executable, etc. There's also a few other outstanding issues, which will be fixed in subsequent commits.

Ideally we'd use the file(CHMOD ...) form everywhere, but that syntax was introduced in cmake 3.19[4], whereas we only require 3.14. Let's provide a fallback behind a version check, so that we'll eventually be able to delete the "else" part. Both forms result in the same file modes.

Before this change:
	80% tests passed, 196 tests failed out of 977
After:
	99% tests passed, 5 tests failed out of 977
The remaining failures will be addressed in subsequent commits.
