Show "open or execute?" dialog when opening executable files

Those files may be executable and the user wants them to execute. For example:

  • Shell scripts the user has written to perform commonly-used actions
  • Windows executables opened with WINE

For this reason, we should stop explicitly blocking running executable files when accessed with KRunner runners or Kicker/Kickoff/Application Dashboard, and instead show the typical "open or execute?" dialog that respects the user's setting for what to do in this case.
