Assume/require POSIX-compliant chmod(1)

The message about telling your OS vendor about GNU utilities that
gets removed here dates back to 1997. The X syntax to chmod goes back
to at least 2004 specification of POSIX 1003.1, I think we can safely
assume that capability in 2020. And that OS vendors know about GNU :)
