conffile moving idiocy
* dh_installmodules: Give files in /etc/modprobe.d a .conf
syntax, as required by new module-init-tools.

cleanly renaming the modprobe.d files on upgrade.
* Two updates to conffile moving code from wiki:
- Support case where the conffile name is a substring of another
conffile's name.
- Support case where dpkg-query says the file is obsolete.

make dh override_dh_* a no-op
This happens if the override target is completly empty.
Make sees it is, and runs the implicit dh target.

Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific options. (Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this warning without reimplementing much of Getopt::Long wasn't practical.)
* If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
* To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
option. This will be converted back to an error later.
