sysext: support distribution-independent extensions using ID=_any
A sysext image that merely contains static binaries has no dependency
on the host distribution and should be able to be used anywhere.
Support the special '_any' value for the ID field in the extension to
opt-out of ID and VERSION_ID/SYSEXT_LEVEL matching.
