Will Bates 9f047fdf11 fix: detect compressed kernel modules (.ko.gz, .ko.xz, .ko.zst)
The linux-kernel-cataloger only matched plain *.ko files, missing
compressed modules produced when CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS is enabled
(common on Debian 13 / Ubuntu 24.04+). This resulted in near-zero
module packages being reported for such filesystems.

Changes:
- Add *.ko.gz, *.ko.xz, *.ko.zst glob patterns to both the cataloger
  and capabilities.yaml so the file resolver picks up compressed modules
- Add decompressedModuleReader() which detects the extension and
  transparently decompresses via compress/gzip, ulikunitz/xz, or
  klauspost/compress/zstd before handing the ELF bytes to the existing
  parseLinuxKernelModuleMetadata parser
- Promote github.com/klauspost/compress from indirect to direct dependency
- Add unit tests covering all three compression formats plus the
  uncompressed baseline, using a programmatically generated minimal ELF

Fixes #4721
