/etc/logrotate.d/st2 is already recorded in conffiles, so let dpkg handle conf preservation and restoration. Besides, there was a bug in the code anyway rendering this logic useless. post-remove.sh should have had mv /etc/logrotate.d/st2 /etc/logrotate.d/st2-pkgsaved.disabled but was missing the first argument, so it did nothing. This was hidden by the '|| true' that made it always pass. Since the logic doesn't work, and it is not necessary, just drop it.
A comment in the pre-install.sh files said: > Fix directories permissions on upgrade (different across maint scripts!) > NB! USED FOR COMPATIBILITY ON UPGRADE FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF PACKAGES. > NB! In future package releases reseting permissions SHOULD BE REMOVED. This has been there for many releases. So, let's just remove this. Instead, we rely on the permissions that the st2 package provides, which are defined in BUILD nfpm_content_* metadata. This has the benefit of vastly simplifying the deb install scripts as the upgrade stamp file is no longer required. So, there is no longer a dependency between pre-install and post-install scripts.

This PR is working towards doing packaging via pantsbuild. Eventually, I hope to archive and stop using st2-packages.git. This PR begins refactoring
packaging/{rpm,deb}/scripts/*.shcherry-picked in:This refactor PR focuses on removing code from the scripts including dead code, broken code, and legacy code that is now pointless. I recommend reviewing each commit, as the commit description explains what is being removed and why.
