To avoid confusion between check_file_access() and check_cmd_access() in the
future, remove unneeded arguments from check_cmd_access()

As a command will always be a file, it should always check for CHKACC_FILE and
nothing else.  And as the commands always will need X_OK, check only for that.

One change from earlier behaviour is that R_OK is not checked for.  The reason
is that only scripts require R_OK to work.  However, a system might be installed
with binaries with only X_OK set.  If a script is missing R_OK, then the 
execution
will fail due to lacking permissions.
