Remove package if service stopped and disabled
Adds a UpgradeRemoveUnusedPackages param to use in the ansible when conditional for the removal Adds package removal to step2 right after a service is stopped and disabled on step2. Package updates happen in step3 so ideally remove before that. The package removal task has ignore_errors true so dependencies or other issue removing packages will not fail the upgrade workflow. Also adds this to the upgrade environment files for visibility and defaulting false Change-Id: Ie4e4a2d41f7752c5a13507a7c15c6f68e203cfca Related-Bug: 1701501 (cherry picked from commit ce0ef2fa207698c1ae61c1620fe3c5e8d1c7bfca)

+upgrade:
+ - Adds a new UpgradeRemoveUnusedPackages parameter (default False) and some
+ service upgrade_tasks that use this parameter to remove any unused
+ packages. "Unused" is those services that are being stopped and disabled
+ from starting on boot (because they are being containerized). Note that
+ ignore_errors is set on all the package removal ansible tasks so any
+ issues removing a given package will not fail the upgrade workflow.
+
+ For clarity, setting UpgradeRemoveUnusedPackages to True in your deployment
+ environment file(s) will result in the REMOVAL of packages for stopped
+ and disabled services, during the upgrade.
