binary_grub-efi: Allow removal of protected packages
Ubuntu have recently started marking shim-signed
as Protected/Important in their Debian packaging, which means apt
will refuse to remove it unless you pass extra flags.
This causes live-build to fail in the binary_grub-efi stage when it tries to clean up the packages it has temporarily installed to build the bootloader for the binary stage.
I propose temporarily adding the --allow-remove-essential
flag to the apt options during this stage to allow such packages to be removed without failure.
I have tested that this patch allows an Ubuntu focal
based iso image to build, whereas the master branch currently can't.
