Stop shipping ssl-cert-snakeoil in the ISO

We’re currently shipping /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem and /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key, that are the same for all users in a given Tails release. Not only this introduces needless variations (hence blocks #5630 (closed)), but there’s a risk that some package (either one we already ship, or one that we ship some day, or one that users install themselves) actually use this pair of SSL keys on the Internet, which is wrong since the private key material is public.

live-build has been deleting those file since 4.0~a20-1 with share/hooks/live/0195-remove-ssl-cert-snakeoil.hook.chroot.

Feature Branch: bugfix/9416-no-ssl-cert-snakeoil
