[Bug 1949316] [NEW] kmod modprobe.d scripts are named with non-inclusive language

[Alex Murray]

Public bug reported:

The kmod package ships with a number of files in /etc/modprobe.d which
have non-inclusive names:

$ dpkg -L kmod | grep blacklist
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rare-network.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf


These should be renamed using the term denylist instead.

Similarly, they should accept the term `denylist` rather than
`blacklist` to specify modules that should not be loaded / aliases that
should be ignored etc.
