Fixed opening up initrd.q

In EasyOS, the 'initrd' file can be opened up just be clicking on
it. It's contents are extracted to /root/initrd-expanded. Then, by
clicking on 'initrd' again, it can be updated from
/root/initrd-expanded.
Quirky has the same feature, however the file is named 'initrd.q'.
Running easyOS, I wanted to open up an 'initd.q' file on a Quirky
USB-stick, but it failed. The script that does this is
/usr/sbin/edit-initramfs. I have fixed it, so that it now opens
'initrd.q'. Haven't tested, but it should also open up other types, such
as 'initrd.gz' used in puppies.
