Corentin Chary 09d481270d scripts: add extract-vmlinux
This script can be used to extract vmlinux from a compressed
kernel image (bzImage, etc..). It's inspired from (a subset of)
extract-ikconfig.

It's something a lot of people have been looking for (mainly
people with xen < 4 that doesn't support bzImages at all).
