REVISION SUMMARY
  QStandardPaths::findExecutable will not return to us a non-executable binary.
  So implement our own iteration over $PATH to detect such a case.
  Note: this doesn't handle the case where PATH isn't set at all (QStandardPaths implements a fallback)
  nor do we implement this for Windows (where chmod -x doesn't really exist as is). I think this is fine,
  in the worst case the user will get the other error message, program not found.

TEST PLAN
  'sudo chmod a-x /usr/bin/gwenview' then try opening a picture with gwenview from e.g. dolphin, see the error message
  
  CCBUG: 415567
