dd_extract: Add support for compressed kernel modules

[pjgeorg]

This PR adds support for handling compressed kernel modules to dd_extract. In particular for *.ko.gz, *.ko.xz, *.ko.bz2, *.ko.zst (these seem to be the common file extensions also supported by rpm macros).

These changes have already been merged to master (#5041), but I'd also like to include these in rhel-9.

Thanks! This will need a bit more than the PR on the process side:

• An accompanying bug (jira?) is required.
• @jkonecny12 to include it in planning + devel_ack
• @jstodola for qa_ack

[pjgeorg]

An accompanying bug is referenced in the commits. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2032638
However, this bug has been closed as "WONTFIX" and targets RHEL-8, not RHEL-9.
Can this bug be re-opened or shall I open a new bug (on jira?)?

[jstodola]

Please, open a new Jira issue in the "RHEL" project: https://issues.redhat.com/projects/RHEL. Thanks.

Please, open a new Jira issue in the "RHEL" project: https://issues.redhat.com/projects/RHEL. Thanks.

https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-9913

Hope I entered all fields correctly. First time creating a bug on Jira since the move away from bugzilla.

Shall I update the commit message to reference this jira issue instead of the old bugzilla one? This would mean that the commit messages are different from the commits in master, but would link to the new Jira bug (which is probably required by policy).

[jkonecny12]

Yes, the RHEL planning is correctly set now. Thanks for your contribution.

Hi, I wanted to rebase this PR but I accidentally pushed top of rhel-9 branch into your fork branch which automatically closed this PR with no option to reopen it. So I was forced to create a new PR with your changes. Sorry for confusion.

This PR was re-created as #5945
