Bug 10646: mod_rewrite should be enabled by the postinst script

This patch makes the post install scripts used by the .deb packages
enable the mod_rewrite module (which is mandatory if you want to run Koha).

It tests the module isn't already enabled, and enables if necesary, and reloads
Apache configuration.

To test:
- Install current koha-common packages on a fresh setup. Make sure you have
mod_rewrite
disabled (its the default if you didn't have apache and it was just pulled by
koha-common
at least on Ubuntu 12.04). Run

 $ a2dismod rewrite

to make sure it is disabled on your test box.
Create a new koha instance like this:

$ koha-create --create-db name

You'll get an error like this:

Syntax error on line 76 of /etc/koha/apache-shared.conf:
Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
   ...fail!

, build your own packages, make sure you have mod_rewrite disabled
(which is the default on Ubuntu 12.04 at least), and install the package.
Create a new instance issuing:

- Apply the patch, build your packages, repeat:

No apache warning about the rewrite module.
