[Bug 1568918] [NEW] Add support for lts-xenial kernel flavours in trusty

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

Subject says it all. We need d-i to support installing the lts-xenial
kernel, as we did with the lts backports in precise.

Test-case would be to try the xenial-* installers to make sure they
install the right kernel (and at all!), and to test the non-vivid
variants to make sure they didn't regress in installing the proper
kernels.
