Yes, I think so.

Originally, Racket relied on a file with the executable bit set to
clone for executables, because there wasn't a way to set the executable
bit within Racket. Racket has long since acquired the ability to set
the executable bit, and `raco exe` and related tools do that, so remove
the executable bit from "starter-sh" should be fine.
