[Rpm-maint] [PATCH v3 1/2] ima-plugin: Have executable configuration files signed

Some configuration files are executables and so they require the
signature in the extended attribute. If they are not executable,
they can be skipped.

Examples for configuration files that are also executables are
the grub files in /etc/grub.d.
