These were manually installed when they were part of a separate
alsa-utils-scripts recipe, but now that recipe no longer exists they
will be installed by automake.

The default value for the udev rules location is looked up using
pkg-config, so there's no need to make this line very long by doing it
again.

Instead of hard-coding a long list of packages and the FILES, we can
use do_split_packages to do the bulk of the work for us.
Leave the SUMMARY (and add some which were missing) and the FILES that
are needed to catch extra files for each package.
This removes the alsa-utils-scripts package which only existed to isolate
the bash depedencies, and instead adds separate -alsaconf and -alsa-info
packages for each of the scripts.
