Ian Wienand d232403e79 base-server: disable install of suggests and recommends packages
The options to disable installing suggests and recommended packages
has been in diskimage-builder based images for a long time [1].
However we have no setting for it in our base-server role, meaning
that when launching nodes from cloud-provider images we can be out of

pulled in by suggestions can fail (arguably a packaging issue, but
anyway...)

By enabling this here, we make our control plane servers homogenous
with our diskimage-builder based testing nodes, which is better for
general sanity.  Overall it gives us more control over what's
installed.
