text files have wrong permissions in trunk

Bug Description

README.txt and UPGRADING.txt are "-rw-r--r--", but every other file is "-rwxr-xr-x". I don't know if the execute bit makes sense for text files, but I think it is just as simple as a chmod a+x.

Note that the old README was "-rwxr-xr-x", so they should probably all be the same.

Actually I think I'll solve this the other way, having only .py files as executable. That means README.txt and UPGRADING.txt are fine, and we need to chmod a-x gpl.txt, as well as the images in /art. I don't think executing text files makes sense.

The python files may not even need it -- almost no python AWN applets have it, but I think it is aids in allowing double-clicking, perhaps, or ./*.py, which makes perfect sense. So let's keep it for those.
