Improve setfacl options to avoid existing files gaining unwanted x-bit permission.

When setting the ACL for all existing files and directory recursivly, an uppercase "X" should be used in the permission options. It means granting the x-bit only to those files which already have it. Otherwise existing files like .gitkeep or existing cache and log files are provided with the x-bit.

See setfacl man page for more details (section "ACL ENTRIES"):
