initramfs-tools 0.141 release

This release fixes a number of bugs:
- shellcheck warnings which broke the build.  Also, shellcheck is no
  longer run during package build, so future changes there won't make
  this happen again.
- Missing /dev/fd and /dev/std* device nodes after udev stopped
  creating them
- Required modules for several Arm-based systems were not included
- USB Ethernet drivers were not included when MODULES=most
- configure_networking would not wait very long for an interface
  specified by MAC address rather than name
- When busybox-static was used in the initramfs, its modprobe was
  wrongly used instead of kmod's modprobe.  For now, this issue still
  exists in other packages whose initramfs scripts run modprobe.
- Error message when the initramfs did not contain any kernel modules

This release changes the default compression method from gzip to
zstd -9.

Possible breaking changes:
- The wait for a network device to appear in configure_networking has
  been rewritten, and we don't (yet) have automated testing for it
- mkinitramfs requires the kernel configuration to be installed in
  /boot/config-<version>, so that it can check which compressors are
  supported

The shortlog is below.

The program is absolutely right; therefore, the computer must be wrong.
