arm/fvp-base-a-aem: remove spurious executable stack from one library

There are some objects in the FVP binary that are assembler source and
fail to declare what permissions the stack needs to have, so GCC falls
back to assuming that the final binary needs an executable stack.

glibc 2.41 (as now used in uninative) introduces changes here[1]: whether
to have an executable stack or not when the binary doesn't specify a
need (defaults to executable, but this is a tunable), and any binaries
that are dlopen()ed that require an executable stack will fail.

Thus, some FVPs on some platforms (notable, fvp-base-a-aem on x86-64)
now fail on startup:

  libarmctmodel.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Invalid argument

Luckily the solution here is to simply clear the executable bit, as
an executable stack is not actually needed.  Until a new release of the
FVP is made we can fix the binary in our package using execstack.
