    Update kickstarts to remove cgts-vg as needed

    In some scenarious, such as when the cgts-vg volume group spans
    multiple disks, the disk wiping in the kickstarts is insufficient to
    clear existing LVM metadata, and anaconda reports a failure to create
    the cgts-vg volume group as a result.

    This update adds explicit cleanup of the logical and physical volumes
    associated with cgts-vg, if not already wiped by the user prior to
    installation, and removes cgts-vg itself. This is done ahead of the
    anaconda partitioning, avoiding any conflict with automatic creation
    of the new cgts-vg.
