[Bug 1778551] [NEW] Add linux-modules* packages to VersionedKernelPackages

[Seth Forshee]

Public bug reported:

== SRU Justification ==

Impact: The 4.15 hwe kernel includes some package shuffling, so the
VersionedKernelPackages list in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove needs
to be updated to include linux-modules* packages.

Fix: Backport the conf file changes from bionic.

Test Case: Confirm that linux-modules* packages are autoremoved
according to the same rules used for linux-image* packages.

Regression Potential: Minimal. Probably the worst case is that some
packages that should be autoremoved are not, but since these changes
have been in use in bionic for a while now no regressions are expected.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Fix Released

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released
