Bug description:
  [Impact]

  I report this bug to add the necessary bit into lds-client for all
  affected/supported releases.

  [Test Case]

  * One must use Landscape server on-prem (version >=19.01) or hosted which 
already contain the necessary server side change.
  * Install landscape-client.
  * Successfully register a client against Landscape server.
  * Security updates will only rely on USN notices and could possibly ignore 
other packages found in -security pocket even if they are there simply by the 
fact that there was no USN notice specific for them.

  (e.g. systemd has an USN, systemd get updated but its derived systemd
  binary packages aren't updated)

  [Regression Potential]

  * The patch flags potential security updates by matching the pocket name. The 
server then does additional package selection from that info. If the pocket 
matching were to break, security updates would continue as it was previously.
  * False positive matching could be possible, assuming one builds a mirror 
which mimics security pockets and contains normal updates. In that case, 
landscape could mistakenly update as if they were security updates.
  * Landscape may apply security updates without USN data, if the update comes 
from a security pocket. Since this matches the behaviour of unattended-upgrades 
and MOTD info, this may be closer to what users expect, even though this is a 
change of behaviour.

  [Other Info]
