debian: Remove the extrinsic version from release names

vlorentz requested to merge generated-differential-D6749-source into generated-differential-D6749-target

Use only the intrinsic version (eg. 1.0.0) instead of the extrinsic version (eg. stretch/contrib/1.0.0). Releases should only contain data from DSC, not external 'pointers' to them.

Additionally, having extrinsic data in releases means the same dsc-sha256 extid can point to different releases, which meant the loader may reuse a release mentioning a specific suite as a release in a different suite. With this commit, this won't be a problem anymore, as releases won't mention the suite at all, so suites can safely share extids.

Depends on !245 (closed)

Note: this diff fixes data corruption, that at best crashes the loaders, at worst makes them write wrong stuff. In order to fix it, we need to wipe all ExtIDs from the database with type dsc-sha256 pointing to a release SWHID.
