Make xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 recommend linux-generic-hwe-18.04 | linux-oem-osp1 | linux-oem

[Shih-Yuan Lee]

[Impact]
We already preloaded many Ubuntu OEM images with the combinations of linux-oem and xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04, or linux-oem-osp1 and xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 on bionic.
Right now, we planed to make OEM meta packages for each OEM platforms.
Recently we found the system will install linux-generic-hwe-18.04 when we make the OEM meta package to depend on linux-oem and xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04.
Please make xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 recommend linux-generic-hwe-18.04 | linux-oem-osp1 | linux-oem so we can make it soomthly.

[Test case]
Check that the generic kernel is not pulled in.

[Regression potential]
None, only adds alternatives to an existing Recommends.
