debian/tests: Add test cases for preprocess

preprocess: Check for missing modules after processing exclusions
When filename lookup was done in copy-modules, inclusion and
subsequent exclusion of a missing module did not result in an error as
it would not be included in the output of preprocess. Some module
lists for Linux depend on that. However my earlier change
"copy-modules, preprocess: Move all module filename lookup into
preprocess" makes the inclusion an immediate error.
Instead of checking for missing modules in find_modules(), make
loadlist() update a hash of missing modules and check that it's empty
when the top-level loadlist() returns. To support this check, make
find_modules() return a dummy filename for modules that are actually
built-in.

preprocess: Remove support for modules with a '.o' extension
Linux 2.6+ and FreeBSD 3+ both use '.ko'.

Remove strip-modules, which has never done anything useful
strip-modules was changed to a no-op shortly after its introduction.
For Linux, at least, debug information is already stripped during the
package build process. Stripping again would remove any signatures
and possibly other important metadata.

copy-modules, preprocess: Move all module filename lookup into preprocess
The interpretation of module lists is awkwardly split between the
copy-modules and preprocess commands.
My introduction of wildcards made this much worse: preprocess finds
full filenames for modules matched by a wildcard, but then it throws
away the directory parts and leaves copy-modules to do a full tree
scan to find them again.
Move all responsibilty for filename lookup, including checking for
missing modules, into the preprocess command.

preprocess: Rename and invert $checkdir to $optional
commit e19326dc3b9d26218e475fb54694a6940dc3eedc

preprocess: Only read the modules directory tree once
Read the modules directory at startup and make a list of all module
files. When searching for modules later, use the list instead of
reading directories again.
This actually makes things slower because it removes the optimisations
that allowed us to limit which directories we search. But it will
enable further changes that should make up for that.
commit 3672b6bcd0fa382eff9eaa368da5af9b9a999502

preprocess: Fix handling of wildcards with no directory part
If we find a line that has a wildcard character but no directory
part, we end up using a pattern that doesn't include the module
base directory and so will never match any of the files we find.
Linux doesn't need this case (all modules are organised into
subdirectories) and kFreeBSD hasn't yet taken advantage of wildcards.
But it should now work.
