ENH: check the magic code of the executable file to determine the executable

file format. Tested for ELF on x86 Linux, COFF and Mach-O prepared but
commented out since I don't have such systems available. Please have a look
a CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake and enable the test for them too.

Only add the option for using chrpath if the executable format is ELF
