An improvement to the algorithm that checks vmlinuz and initrd versions was implemented as a fix for Bug #1858376, "Ubuntu 19.10 - vmlinuz FileNotFoundError at 50% Update ISO Boot Files".

(1) In some cases redundant of rows vmlinuz and initrd files were being added to Cubic's UI on the Kernels tab (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/cubic/+bug/1858376/comments/9).

(2) The old algorithm also attempted to get version information for simlinks to vmlinuz and initrd files (although the version information was already available for the actual files).

This resulted in additional unnecessary computation.

The newer algorithm is more efficient, and helps reduce the time it takes to transition to the Options tab from the Existing project page or from the Terminal page.
