scripts/wrapper: fix wrong test when checking access to the reall tool

In C, the proper syntax for a bit-wise OR is a single '|', not two.

It worked so far because all was well:
- X_OK == 1
- R_OK||X_OK == 1
- the file we searched for had the x-bit set
-> access( file, R_OK||X_OK ) worked
- inicidentally, the file we searched for also had the r-bit set,
but we were not testing that in fact.
     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     3 
     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
