If there are installed residual linux-tools-VERSION and linux-tools-VERSION-KERNELTYPE packages, remove them with other kernel packages with the same version.

Also, just below this change, packages are checked for whether they are already installed, and then they are added to the purge list. So, the app doesn't try to remove linux-tools unconditionally:

if kernel.installed:
if pkg.is_installed:


Fixes #946
