Set up lts-vivid flavours for all d-i targets in trusty

[Adam Conrad]

Subject says it all. We need d-i to support installing the lts-vivid kernel, as we did with the lts backports in precise.

Test-case would be to try the vivid-* installers to make sure they install the right kernel (and at all!), and to test the non-vivid variants to make sure they didn't regress in installing the proper kernels.
