Bug description:
  The ubuntu-advantage-tools package is a bit odd as it was first landed
  in precise to support the ESM effort inside canonical. [0]  In order
  to bring this package up to date across other series in ubuntu, it has
  been recommended by the Ubuntu Foundations team to land into trusty
  next, then forward-port pocket-copy to all supported series until we
  get to the devel release.

  The version here:

  https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/ubuntu-advantage-
  script/releases/tag/v2

  ... has all on-disk bits correctly working, for all series, but no-ops
  on any release other than precise (ESM is only for "unsupported" LTS
  releases as it were).  This is a request to land ubuntu-advantage-
  tools into trusty, then pocket-copy it to supported series of ubuntu
  once that is finished.

  [Impact]

   * Allow ubuntu-advantage users to access the extended security
  maintenance script with a simple command line tool.  This script needs
  to hit precise machines and be easy for ubuntu-advantage customers to
  enable, thus basefiles was chosen as a home.

  [Test Case]

   * Run ubuntu-advantage, it should print out help
   * Run sudo ubuntu-advantage enable <token> (without sudo it will warn you), but you need to be an ubuntu-advantage customer to get that token.  In the end, the script simply adds and removes an /etc/apt/sources.list.d entry.
   * you can contact me (dpb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) if you would like a token for test purposes.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Low, this is a new script, not included in any automated startup
  paths.
