UBUNTU: [Debian] autoreconstruct - add resoration of execute permissions

Debian source package diffs cannot represent that a file should
be executable. This is a problem for us if a patch adds a script
which is invoked directly during the build, as happened with a
recent stable update for 4.14. Update gen-auto-reconstruct to
detect this situation and restore the execute permissions in the
reconstruct script. Exclude the debian packaging directories as
the scripts here already account for the loss of execute
permissions.
