Bug description:
  [Original Bug Description]

  awscli is not kept up to date, and so new AWS features are not
  available.

  The AWS pip installation method is unaudited and unsigned, and is not
  a production ready solution to the out-of-date problem.

  The awscli package needs to be kept up to date and available on all
  supported Ubuntu OSes.

  [[ SRU Request Template ]]

  [Impact]

   * the awscli package is out of date to varying degrees across
  supported Ubuntu releases

   * old versions of awscli lack critical functionality for modern AWS
  cloud features. For example, several `aws eks` commands are
  unavailable and/or unsupported prior to version 1.18.17 [1].

   * An updated awscli package will allow Xenial and Bionic, in
  particular, to access modern AWS functionality from the archive.

  [Test Case]

   * on any ubuntu release without groovy-proposed enabled: `apt-get install awscli` and attempt `aws eks update-kubeconfig`.
     * This is functionality described in the AWS EKS getting started guide [1] as requiring version 1.18.17 or later [1], and is part of the documented web-console path to using Ubuntu (or any distro) on EKS.
     * On the version of awscli in bionic (1.14.44), the `eks` subcommand is not available.
     * On eoan or focal, this command may not correctly update the user's kubeconfig file depending on the configuration of their AWS EKS cluster (k8s version, cluster options, etc).

   * The latest version of this package is part of acceptance criteria
  of AWS cloud images for Ubuntu CPC and cloud partners.

  [Regression Potential]

   * users of ubuntu and awscli who have scripting or automation reliant
  on outdated versions of awscli are likely to see some form of breakage
  insofar as AWS has been willing to break functionality of older
  versions.

   * The latest version of awscli (1.18.47) lists botocore 1.15.47 as a
  dependency; at the time of this description the version of python-
  botocore in the archive does not meet this requirement [2] -- package
  builds or installation could fail if this dependency is not correctly
  resolved.

   * Any Ubuntu image builds which preinstall this package and/or use it
  in boot scripts may break depending on their expectations.

  [Other Info]

   * The Hardware Enablement exception likely applies here, as updating
  this package version will enable using functionality of the AWS cloud
  which are impossible to use with the versions of the cli currently in
  the archive.
