libdwfl: Find and handle compressed vmlinuz image.
Both the dwfl_linux_kernel_find_elf callback and the dwfl_linux_kernel_report_offline reporting function only handled vmlinix images possibly compressed with .gz, .bz2 or .xz extension. They did not find or handle the much more common vmlinuz compressed images. It is not completely clear why we didn't up to now. Support for compressed ELF files was added in 2009 and the code was updated to to try to find the .gz, .bz2 or .xz extension variants in 2011. But not the vmlinuz named variant.
