 I just diagnosed a problem with a site where `wp-includes` was `744`
 rather than `755`, missing the executable bit and thus preventing CSS/JS
 from being served.

 Suexec was being used, so we should have had the ability to set the
 executable bit if we had ever noticed this was a problem.

 This happened on an existing site, so I'm not entirely sure when we'd fix
 this. `wp-admin/maint` script? DB upgrade process? Core file update
 process? I'm not sure what caused this here, which would probably play
 into how to best account for it. (Wordfence was on the site, could have
 been related.)

 I asked @pento about this and he said "One less insane error to deal with
 is always a nice thing."
