kiss: Remove .la files from all packages.

Browse Source 
These files are unneeded and become a source of errors when an
autotools build references a non-existing .la file. This was the
case with a recent update to freetype-harfbuzz.

The files are required by libtool to do libtool things, however
libtool works just fine without them. These files are safe to
remove according to upstream and other distributions have already
been doing this for a while.

It is recommended that you remove all .la files from your system
if manually updating the package manager to the latest version.
Running 'kiss update' will automatically handle this for you.

The following script will be run on post-install to clean up the
.la files. This can also be run manually. Executing this script
will do nothing if the system is already clean.

  #!/bin/sh

  find "$KISS_ROOT/usr/lib" \
      ! -type d \
      -name \*.la \
      -exec rm -f -- {} +

  find "$KISS_ROOT/var/db/kiss/installed" \
      ! -type d \
      -name manifest \
      -exec sed -i '/.*\.la$/d' {} +

This commit also brings back the removal of charset.alias which was
a part of the default KISS_HOOK prior. It makes much more sense for
it to live alongside this change.
