Guidelines for Position Independent Executables gave the impression that PIE is opt-in. This has not been true since Harden All Packages change happened in Fedora 23.

To match the fact that PIE is the default, the guidelies are updated to discuss the opt-out instead of opt-in.

Note: The Harden All Packages change page also says this:

Adjust the Packaging Guidelines to allow non-PIC packages only if the package is not working otherwise and require a tracker bug similar to packages not working on certain archs. Update the Guidelines to reflect the new defaults.

I did not take that into account at all. Should those changes actually be in the guidelines?
