Bug description:
  [Impact]
  There is not currently a graphical method of determining if a system is 
subscribed to [Extended Security Maintenance](https://ubuntu.com/security/esm) 
updates. This is resolved by adding some [new 
UI](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#Extended_Security_Maintenance) to 
the software properties application.

  [Test Case]
  1. Install latest version of Ubuntu advantage:
  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ua-client/stable
  $ sudo apt update
  $ sudo apt upgrade
  2. Open Software Properties
  3. Go to Updates tab.

  Expected result:
  Information is shown that indicates if this system is using Extended Security 
Maintenance updates, when updates will supported until, and a link to upgrade 
to ESM.

  Observed result:
  No ESM information currently shown.

  [Where problems could occur]
  - Software properties could hit a bug getting a response from the ua app. The 
current code carefully checks if and what is returned, falling back to a safe 
default behavior.
  - Launching software properties could trigger a bug in the ua app.
  - Software properties could show incorrect information, causing confusion for 
the user. The solution uses information from distro-info and the ua app which 
means software-properties contains no data about ESM, and instead relies on 
these apps that can be updated if things change.
