[PATCH] filetype: move is_dos_exe into header

[PATCH] filetype: move is_dos_exe into header

[Ahmad Fatoum]

The MZ magic can occur together with other magic signatures as well,
e.g. in x86 bzImages or in EFI-stubbed ARM/RISC-V kernel images.

Move the check into a header to allow it to be used e.g. from boot entry
providers.
