Trivially change file mode from 755 to 644 for files in git that
shouldn't be marked as executable. These were probably marked as
executable due to some contributors developing on Windows using a
filesystem that doesn't support POSIX file modes, or aggressively marks
everything as executable.
The thrift build system currently assumes that the thrift compiler is
always available in $(top_builddir)/compiler/cpp/thrift. However, in a
cross-compilation context, this location contains the thrift compiler
built for the target... which obviously will not run on the build
machine.
In order to support such cross-compilation situation, we introduce the
THRIFT variable as a an argument for the configure script (using
AC_ARG_VAR). If not specified, it defaults to the existing value of
using compiler/cpp/thrift from the build directory, but it can be
overridden when calling ./configure.
Note that $(top_builddir) cannot be used within the configure script,
so we simply use `pwd`, which is the same as the top_builddir.
