Use ubuntu-cloud-minimal metapackage in minimized CPC images

Now that we have the cloud-minimal seed for minimized cloud
image builds, we should drop all the workarounds and hacks
we once needed when we were using the server seed. We can
directly use the new metapackage and get rid of the tasks and
other autoremoves, et al.
