(main) Do not prompt on configuration file update

When updating configuration file, apt by default prompt the user for the
action to perform.  Since we are running in a non-interactive context,
skip these prompts:

  * `--force-confdef` ensure the configuration file is replaced by a
    newer version in the package if the previous package default
    configuration file was not modified;
  * `--force-confold` keep the configuration file as it is if it has
    been modified compared to the one shipped in the previous version of the
    package.
