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.
