dpkg-fsys-usrunmess: Special case untracked kernel module files
Kernel module files are required as part of the system boot, so we need
to make sure any such files gets moved or the system might end up not
being able to boot, once the initramfs images get regenerated.
In particular, kernel module files are easily found on systems as
untracked pathnames in the filesystem, either from custom built kernels,
or as part of modules built via machinery such as DKMS.
One complication is that there appears to be some documentation
referencing /usr/lib/modules/ pathnames for at least apache, python and
ruby module locations. Which we do not want to be moving.
To limit these unknowns, and as we are dealing with untracked pathnames,
we will restrict moving subdirectories that start with a digit, which
matches Linux and kFreeBSD module locations, in addition to the
modprobe.conf filename.
Closes: #1008316
