Bug description:
  [Impact]

  When running landscape-config, this prompt always defaults to Yes:
  "Request a new registration for this computer now? (Y/n):"
  The landscape-config command can be used to change configuration options in /etc/landscape/client.conf and should default to No when running this command on a computer that is already registered to a Landscape server and that server doesn't change during that run of landscape-config.

  [Test Case]

  1) Install landscape-client package on computer.
  2) Run landscape-config to register client for the first time. Note how the default answer for the registration question is "Y"
  3) Run landscape-config again to change an option:
  sudo landscape-config --ping-interval=60
  4) Verify that the question about requesting a new registration defaults to "N" this time.

  [Regression Potential]
  Admins and scripts who relied on the old behavior might be surprised that a new registration is not requested anymore by default if the client is already registered, but I believe it's a welcomed change. It was even a sort of known issue in our FAQ (https://help.landscape.canonical.com/RunningScripts#Enabling%20script%20execution):
  """
  /!\ Very important: when using this method [Ed: calling landscape-config], you MUST NOT request a new registration for the computer, as that will create a duplicate machine in your Landscape account!
  """

  If there is a regression here, it will just affect the default answer
  given to the "do you wanted to register" question. The admin can still
  answer however he/she wishes.

  "Request a new registration for this computer now? (Y/n):"

  The landscape-config command can be used to change configuration
  options in /etc/landscape/client.conf and should default to No when
  running this command on a computer that is already registered to a
  Landscape server and that server doesn't change during that run of
  landscape-config.

  Steps to replicate:

  1) Install landscape-client package on computer
  $ sudo apt-get install landscape-client

  2) Run landscape-config to register client for the first time
  $ sudo landscape-config --account-name standalone --url https://<server>/message-system --ping-url http://<server>/ping

  3) Run landscape-config again to change an option
  $ sudo landscape-config --ping-interval=60
