* DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py: import kernel initrd size estimation code from update-manager (since u-r-u is the only consumer of it) and refactor in order to give more accurate estimates.

With the latest kernel update in 16.10, I got an error message that I needed more free space on this filesystem. After bypassing update-manager with 'sudo apt dist-upgrade', the filesystem's usage looks like this: $ df -h /boot/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 280M 206M 56M 79% /boot $ So update-manager is getting the disk usage requirement for /boot off by a factor of 2 (at least? I didn't save the error message from the dialog). It's better to refuse to upgrade than to fail mid-upgrade due to disk space, but not if that means getting stuck forever with an old kernel unnecessarily.
