Bug 40901: (QA follow-up) Keep /etc conffiles under their koha-common names

The cron, logrotate and defaults files were renamed from koha-common.*
to koha-core.*, so debhelper installed them as /etc/cron.d/koha-core,
/etc/logrotate.d/koha-core and /etc/default/koha-core. dpkg never
deletes a conffile that a package stops shipping, so after an upgrade
both the old and the new files exist side by side:

- every cron job (process_message_queue.pl every 15 minutes,
  overdue_notices.pl, fines.pl, backups...) runs twice
- logrotate complains about duplicate log entries every night
- the admin's /etc/default/koha-common (USE_INDEXER_DAEMON,
  INDEXER_PARAMS, ES_* tuning) is replaced by a symlink to a fresh
  copy of the packaged defaults, silently losing every customisation

Keep the on-disk names instead: koha-core now ships the files as
debian/koha-core.koha-common.* and debian/rules passes
--name=koha-common to dh_installinit, dh_installcron and
dh_installlogrotate. Because koha-core Replaces the old koha-common,
dpkg hands each conffile over with the admin's content intact and no
duplicates are left behind. The defaults file content is byte-identical
to the old koha-common.default so nobody gets a spurious conffile
prompt, and koha-generate-env reads the single canonical name again.

The experimental pre-split koha-core (used by koha-full) had its own
/etc/default/koha-core and /etc/init.d/koha-core; a new
koha-core.maintscript migrates the former with mv_conffile and removes
the latter, with the matching rc.d links dropped in the postinst.
/etc/koha/[email protected], whose template was deleted, is removed
from upgrading systems too. koha-core.preinst gains the #DEBHELPER#
token the maintscript machinery needs.
