On AIX, access(X_OK) may succeed when run as root even if the
execution isn't possible. This behavior is allowed by POSIX
which says:
... for a process with appropriate privileges, an implementation
may indicate success for X_OK even if execute permission is not
granted to any user.
It can lead hook programs to have their execution refused:
git commit -m content
fatal: cannot exec '.git/hooks/pre-commit': Permission denied
Add NEED_ACCESS_ROOT_HANDLER in order to use an access helper function.
It checks with stat if any executable flags is set when the current user
is root.

On various BSD's, fileno(fp) is implemented as a macro that directly
accesses the fields in the FILE * object, which breaks a function that
accepts a "void *fp" parameter and calls fileno(fp) and expect it to
work.
Work it around by adding a compile-time knob FILENO_IS_A_MACRO that
inserts a real helper function in the middle of the callchain.
