For dynamically linked executables, the interpreter is passed a
file descriptor of the binary being executed. To this end, VFS
opens the target executable, but opening the file fails if it is
not readable, even when it is executable. With this patch, when
opening the executable, it verifies the X bit rather than the R
bit on the file, thus allowing the execution of dynamically
linked binaries that are executable but not readable.
Add test86 to verify correctness.

There is no reason to keep these tightly coupled data structures
separate. Moreover, there is no reason to have a union of file
descriptor and file pointer, since the second can be derived from
the first. The result are somewhat cleaner VFS internals.
