exec: restore EACCES of S_ISDIR execve()

Patch series "Fix S_ISDIR execve() errno".

Fix an errno change for execve() of directories, noticed by Marc Zyngier.
Along with the fix, include a regression test to avoid seeing this return
in the future.

This patch (of 2):

The return code for attempting to execute a directory has always been
EACCES.  Adjust the S_ISDIR exec test to reflect the old errno instead of
the general EISDIR for other kinds of "open" attempts on directories.
