Title:
  Missing perl 'Sys' module in system config summary on focal

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Logwatch's Sys perl module is optional per distro policy and only used to display current cpu and memory levels, strictly for informational reasons.   The warnings issued by Logwatch do not indicate an actual problem, but they do clutter the logwatch report, particularly since they're displayed at the top of the report.

  [Test Case]
  $ export CODENAME="focal"
  $ lxc launch ubuntu:${CODENAME} test-logwatch
  $ lxc exec test-logwatch -- bash

  # apt-get update
  # apt-get dist-upgrade -y
  # apt-get install -y logwatch

  Without the fix, the start of the log will show an error message about
  Sys::CPU and Sys::MemInfo not being installed.  With the fix there
  will be no error message.

  [Regression Potential]

  Since logwatch filters logs for errors pertinent to administrators,
  standard things to watch out for are undesired changes in this filtering
  behavior, such as flagging or failing to flag issues differently than
  before, other than the specific messages being filtered with this
  change.

  
  [Original Report]
  $ sudo logwatch --detail Low --range today --service all --output stdout
