Fix multiple entries in woof-installed-packages

File /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages is a list of all the packages builtin to easy.sfs, in the "Puppy Standard" database format. I noticed an anomaly in this file:

This has come about because there are two different versions of Chromium in the Devuan repository. The higher version number is a security release, and this is what is actually in easy.sfs

So, the lower-version entry should not be in that file. I found the cause, in script '3post-populate-rootfs' in woofQ2. Modified it so that it picks out the correct version:

#1create-rootfs has created pkgs-installed.txt (.deb pkgs)...
#ex: chromium/stable-security,now 142.0.7444.59-1~deb13u1 amd64 [installed]
#20251107 chromium is in two different Packages-devuan-* files...
#for aINST in $(cut -f 1 -d '/' pkgs-installed.txt)
while IFS='' read -r aL
do
 aN="${aL%%/*}"
 aV="$(echo -n "$aL" | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 2 -d ' ')"
 grep -m 1 -h -F "|${aL}_${aV}_" ${L1}/configure/${xARCH}/Packages-${DISTRO_BINARY_COMPAT}-* >> woof-installed-packages
done <pkgs-installed.txt

The files Packages-${DISTRO_BINARY_COMPAT}-* are all of the Devuan packages, converted to Puppy-Standard format. What the script does now is find a match for both the name and version and write to woof-installed-packages.
