[Bug 1935972] [NEW] postinst: Rely on needrestart when present on the system

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Simon Chopin (schopin):

This patch bypasses the custom restarting logic backed into the postinst
script if the needrestart utility is present, as it allows sharing the
logic with the rest of the system.

It also changes the custom logic to compare the old package version to
the current one instead of a hard-coded value. I don't feel particularly
strongly about this, so feel free to drop it :)
