  GRMLBASE/16-depmod: no longer rely on /boot/System.map-* file

The System.map content was moved into Debian's debug package with kernel
5.8.10-1 and newer, see https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux.git:

|     Move System.map into debug package

Now it only contains a place holder:

| # cat /boot/System.map-5.10.0-4-amd64
| ffffffffffffffff B The real System.map is in the linux-image-<version>-dbg package

Due to this, we get >134k entries like:

| depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/5.10.0-4-amd64/kernel/arch/x86/events/rapl.ko needs unknown symbol x86_match_cpu

… resulting in a ~16MB log file (FAI's shell.log).

To avoid this, let's skip usage of depmod's `-e -F /boot/System.map-*'.

Note: It's probably not worth checking for 'The real System.map is in
the' inside the /boot/System.map-* file and only if it's not present
then consider using it, given that this string might change over time.

FTR: We usually also don't have the Module.symvers available for usage
with depmod's `-E` option, as the Module.symvers is part of the kernel
source package.
