24.04.0.5: update for official release for noble numbat

wasta-remove-snapd: limit regex to "from start" with ^

Otherwise it will match any package ENDING with those characters,
which was not the intention.

bump to 24.04.0.4: initial release for noble numbat

The major difference is the use of apt .sources files.
If they are duplicated by a .list, then lots of
duplicate warnings at an apt update.

Another big difference is that polkit .pkla is obsolete.

App-installs (things not available initially)
 * pinta: should be part of the normal Ubuntu stuff eventually

If snaps are removed, it will be important to replace any apps
that have been distributed as snaps (so far only firefox).

use systemd for starting zswap (instead of etc/default/grub)

Not simply backport-able: uses new-to-noble zsmalloc zpool.
   (well, maybe not new. Not recommended earlier...)

This allows us to have it enabled on install from the ISO,
among many other benefits.

With zswap setup, the penalty for swapping is very low.
Therefore, remove (or possibly even make more swappy)
the swappiness limiter, so that zswap will be used
more readily (and therefore fit more into memory...)

tried to pre-select lightdm again, but still fails

Documented the attempt by adding the --unseen flag
which should tell me next time that it really doesn't work.

only call wasta-reset when in cinnamon - it logs out gnome...

The script is not finished when the user gets logged out
at this point, so that definitely is not wanted!

hopefully improve snap removal algorithm + cleanup

The problem seen in 24.04 was that snapd-desktop-integration
was not removed (since it matched 'snapd').

wrap commmands in path agnostic "if installed" clauses

snap and flatpak might not be installed,
so avoid error messages in those cases.

allow the user-supplied "auto" to be case-insensitive

remove 5.19 and 6.2 kernels when disabling HWE stack
