[Bug 1828100] [NEW] KernelRemoval section of DistUpgrade.cfg shouldn't require manual updating

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

Currently the method to determine kernels to auto remove uses a hard-
coded version number and package base names in DistUpgrade.cfg. This
need to be updated for every release of Ubuntu and has been missed in
the past - bug 1828072. It'd be better if the autoremovalable kernels
did not need to be updated all the time and instead utilized the logic
apt uses (/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove) to determine what kernels
are removable.
