Subject: [PATCH] sysprep: rework and fix cron-spool operation (RHBZ#1229305)

When cleaning the directories with cron/at jobs, remove only files
there, as subdirectories might be used by other systems; for example
in Debian under /var/spool/cron/ there is the atjobs subdirectory with
the actual at queue.

Make sure to not remove .SEQ files anymore, as they represent the at job
counter which is needed by the at daemon. Instead, reset these files to
0.

Furthermore, add also the path to the .SEQ location in Debian-based
systems.

(cherry picked from commit 261be1f952aa984b460ff8d88d962c490df4ffcf)
