Subject: [PATCH] fix(dracut-install): resolve dependencies even if not
 executable

Library files on Debian/Ubuntu are not marked as executable. This causes
`dracut-install` to not resolve dependencies:

```
$ ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libarchive.so.13.7.7
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 874648 Jun 25  2025 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libarchive.so.13.7.7
$ rm -rf foo && mkdir foo
$ ./dracut-install -D foo -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libarchive.so.13
$ find foo
foo
foo/usr
foo/usr/lib
foo/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
foo/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libarchive.so.13.7.7
foo/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libarchive.so.13
```

There is no requirement for library files to be executable. So resolve
dependencies all files. `resolve_deps()` will check if the file is
either an ELF file or a script.

This will also resolve dependencies of scripts that are not marked
executable, which might be an undesired side effect. In this case users
are advised to either call `dracut-install` without `-l` or not include
those files at all.
