    Remove old modules when removing a kernel
    
    Closes: #586724
    Thanks: Jan Muszynski
    
    When removing a kernel it would be good to remove all the modules and not just uninstall them.
    Issuing a remove instead of an uninstall to dkms will cause the module to be uninstalled first
    (if it's not already), then removed. If the kernel is ever re-installed then dkims will
    rebuild the module as needed, so nothing is lost by removing the modules for a
    reomoved kernel, but you do run a cleaner system.
