Do not require force-loopbreak on Protected packages
dpkg will be changed in 1.20.8 to not require --force-remove for deconfiguration anymore, but we want to decouple our changes from the dpkg ones, so let's always pass --force-remove-protected when installing packages such that we can deconfigure protected packages. Closes: #983014
