rG9c18d55a768a: fexecve(2): call out a scenario where you want !O_EXEC

Summary

We note a reason why you might need it, but there's an equally important
reason you may need to omit it: interpreted programs. Add a note
accordingly, along with the workaround configuration if there's reason
you can't help it.
