Improve copying of overrides.

The old ubuntu-rtm publisher job produces this error every time it runs:

  rsync: link_stat "/srv/launchpad.net/ubuntu-rtm-archive/ubuntu-rtm-overrides/override.*" failed: No such file or directory (2)
  rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1183) [sender=3.1.1]
  run-parts: /srv/launchpad.net/publisher-parts/ubuntu-rtm/publish-distro.d/30-copy-indices exited with return code 23

While ubuntu-rtm itself is obviously obsolete, it's easy enough to fix
the rsync invocation here so that it doesn't have this problem in the
edge case where there are no override files to copy.

Germinate for ubuntucinnamon

generate_extra_overrides: Germinate for stable releases too

Currently we only generate for the release pocket of -devel releases.
This means that Task headers don't get updated for SRUs meaning that,
for example, it's not easily possible to add new packages to the live
seed (other seeds are OK because they get pulled in by Depends of the
metapackage).

Germinate for -updates, and for stable releases. When generating
overrides for stable releases, write overrides to -updates.

This is not a full solution. The immutable nature of release pockets
means that some things can't work properly, for example

  - dependencies of the new package which aren't in -updates won't get
    Task entries
  - *dropping* things from seeds can't work properly, at least not
    without care from consuming code to have -updates dominate release;
    a simple grep-dctrl will not do
