Install kernel modules under /usr/lib/modules #119

Description

Debian Policy 4.7.1 (section 10.1) says packages must not install files into /bin, /lib or /sbin, since those are now symlinks into /usr.

The kernel image package still installs its modules under /lib/modules/. debian/rules installs them with INSTALL_MOD_PATH and creates the build and source links there, and the DKMS bundler installs into /lib/modules//extra.

#107 moves Standards-Version to 4.7.4, which includes that rule. resolute's own kernel already ships its modules under /usr/lib/modules.

Proposal: move the install paths to /usr/lib/modules once #114 lands, since #114 reworks the DKMS bundler and adds /lib/modules//updates/qli.
