Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Canonical support team (AKA STS) largely depend on sosreport package
  to troubleshoot system.

  sosreport is always in constant development including new bugfixes,
  new features such as new plugins[1], .... that can be interesting to
  have in a support context.

  v3.5 is already found in devel release (bionic). We create this LP in
  the attempt to justify the SRU of v3.5 backport into current supported
  stable releases.

  [1] - New plugins for :
          * perl
          * boom
          * vdo
          * os_net_config
          * conntrackd
          * ovirt_imageio
          * nss
          * sas3ircu
          * openstack_aodh
          * docker_distribution
          * gluster_block
          * snappy

      Plugin API enhancements
          * Plugin triggers by executable name
          * Improved log size limit handling
          * Better handling of compressed log files
          * Per-plugin package verification lists

      Updates to 227 plugins

  This will also allow us to close some sosreport LP bugs:
  *Docker plugin uses the wrong command for Ubuntu (LP: #1693574)

  [Test Case]

   * Install sosreport
     $ apt-get install sosreport

   * Run sosreport
     $ sosreport -a
     $ sosreport -o <PLUGIN>
     $ ...

   * Make sure it generate a tar.xz file in /tmp in the form of
     "/tmp/sosreport-<HOSTNAME>-<DATE>.tar.xz"

   * Extract files from archive
     $ tar Jxvf /tmp/sosreport-<HOSTNAME>-<DATE>.tar.xz

   * Look the content of sosreport, make sure the information is
  accurate and valid, ....

   * Make sure all files that should to be collected by sosreport aren't 0 size. (Files that should be collected may varies from one system to another, it depends on what packages are installed, ...)
     $ find /tmp/sosreport-<HOSTNAME>-<DATE> -size 0

  # Note :
  It is normal to see some 0 size files here and there, again it depend on how the plugin is run (package detection or not inside the plugins, ...) and if the package is installed or not on the system where you run sosreport. But in most cases, if the package is installed and if sosreport has a plugin for it then it should gather information, if not then it might be a problem with the plugins itself that need adjustments.

  [Regression Potential]

   * autopkgtest[2] didn't reveal any
  [2] - See Comment #1

   * We,STS, have intensively tested the package.

  During our testing, we found a severe regression that we already took
  action to fix it via :

  - Upstream issue - https://github.com/sosreport/sos/issues/1155
  - Debian bug - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=883537
  - Fix Released in Ubuntu Devel release (bionic) via debdiff : lp1734983_bionic.debdiff
