v7.7

+ DietPi-Pre-patch | On x86_64 with /boot FAT partition, create kernel upgrade hook to remove existing files from /boot before installing the new files: #4785

This pre-patch was backported from v7.7 dev to v7.6 master to resolve the issue now for our current images, as there are still > 2 weeks to go before next DietPi update and this patch is too large for live patches.
