don't remove libgfortran.so during customize_airootfs.sh

Gerd v. Egidy requested to merge gvegidy/systemrescue-sources:libgfortran into main

libgfortran is required to run any numpy-, graphviz- or matplotlib-based program, for example the "dot" visualization tool often used to display dependency graphs, for example from systemd-analyze or for package dependencies.

While dot & co. are not part of SystemRescue, installing them with pacman is easy. But the removed libgfortran is not recognized by pacman, so running those programs won't work and the solution (reinstalling the gcc-libs package) is anything but obvious to someone without deeper knowledge of SystemRescue or Arch Linux packaging.

Even though the lib is 9 MB unpacked, final iso size just grows by 1 MB, so it can be packed quite well.
