This was an unintended change when I reimplemented hook handling in
linux-run-hooks (in linux-base).  I just didn't notice that the
directory prefix was previously "header_" and not "headers_" (like the
package names).

Since nothing appears to install a hook in the new directories
(/{etc,usr/share}/kernel/headers_postinst.d) yet, I will change this
back rather than trying to support both.
