Clean Python cache in prerm only #6782

  1. Clean Python cache in prerm only 

    We are currently cleaning the Python cache in the postinst and postrm,
but that still leaves us with warnings from apt that non-empty
`__pycache__` directories couldn't be deleted.

This mimics what dh-python does, which is to run py3compile in the
postinst (already doing) and run py3clean in the prerm.

During a fresh install, only the postinst is triggered to compile the
cache.

During an upgrade, first the prerm runs, removing the cache, then the
new version is unpacked, then postinst goes, recreating the cache.

Fixes #6743.
