Unattended upgrades

Unattended upgrades' default config mostly works for servers. On desktop machines with needrestart installed, it really spams the notifications.

I think the fix is to disable the MinimalSteps option. It still produces 2 notifications, but I'm hopeful it won't get out of control and fill up a whole screen like before.

Unattended-Upgrade::MinimalSteps "false";
