dracut-install: Add support for compressed kernel modules

When a module is compressed, uncompress it before packing into initrd.
Since initrd is already compressed, it makes no sense to put the
compressed module files.

The patch contains a slight refactoring and adds a helper function to
get the command for uncompressing a file per extension.
