Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The sos team is pleased to announce the release of sos-4.0. This is a major version release that represents a significant change to the sos project, new features, and bug fixes.

  https://github.com/sosreport/sos/releases/tag/4.0

  [Test Case]
  * Install sosreport 4.0-1* package
   ** Test new main binary 'sos' and it's former binary still present 'sosreport' (e.g. sosreport -a --all-logs & sos report -a --all-logs)
    ** Test new features:
      *** sos-collect (Collect sosreport from multiple node simultaneously)
      *** sos-clean || sos-mask (It's aim is to scrub potentially sensitive information from sosreports in a consistent manner, beyond the obfuscation done by plugins already.) Replacement of the former project called 'soscleaner' which no longer deliver development.

  [Regression Potential]

  Main binary formerly known as 'sosreport' has been officially renamed
  to 'sos' but 'sosreport' still exist and has been carried over for now
  to help to transition for package maintainer. No impact nor
  behavioural change for existing user. They are welcome to use the new
  binary or the former one as they wish.

  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  596 Aug 25 16:24 /usr/bin/sos

  New functionalities has been added which could lead to possible bugs
  ,since they are fairly new addition, if not already caught by the
  travis/autopkg tests but if a problem arise it will be limited to the
  components itself and won't affect the main behaviour (which by the
  way remain the same, which is to collect a tarball using 'sosreport'
  or/and now 'sos report' subcommand.

  To resume, main known existing behaviour remain the same but some new
  features which are limited/independent to each other has been added to
  offer new features such as :

  * sos collect is a new sub command in this release, and is an
  integration of the standalone sos-collector project, with the aim
  being to collect sosreports from multiple systems simultaneously. Note
  that this sub-command requires python3-pexpect to be available. If the
  module is not available, sos collect will abort with an appropriate
  error message

  * sos clean, also available as sos mask, is a newly added sub-command
  in this release and is an implementation of the standalone soscleaner
  project. Its aim is to scrub potentially sensitive information from
  sosreports in a consistent manner, beyond the obfuscation done by
  plugins already.

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates

  sos4.0 now enforces archives to be stored in /var/tmp.
  A debian patch has been made to continue to store in /tmp (current behaviour) to stay align with current behaviour but also because debian's systemd implementation doesn't provide a tmpfiles.d cleaner for /var/tmp. So /tmp remains the default "tmp-dir" location.

  During the testing, I found a py38 incompatibility related to
  dictionnary order, that I fixed upstream and cherry-pick for Ubuntu
  release having py38 found in : d/p/0002-fix-dict-order-
  py38-incompatibility.patch.

  Upstream commit:
  https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/2207/commits/86dfd99931ac0199895cf5e41711fc9b1ab6feaf

  The old config (/etc/sos.conf) contents will not be carried over after
  update. Users will have to modify the new file (/etc/sos/sos.conf)
  instead (if needed).

  [Original Description]
  https://github.com/sosreport/sos/releases/tag/4.0

  Major changes
  Sos has been redesigned to provide functionality beyond the well known report data collection usage. It has been updated to provide
  more functionality via sub-commands.

  A new sos binary has replaced the former sosreport binary as the main
  entry point for the utility.

  sos report is now used to generate sosreport tarballs. A sosreport binary is maintained as a redirection point and will now invoke sos report.
  sos collect formally brings sos-collector into the main sos project, and is used to collect sosreports from multiple nodes simultaneously. A sos-collector binary is maintained as a redirection point and will invoke sos collect.
  This means the standalone sos-collector utility will no longer be independently developed.
  sos clean formally brings soscleaner-like functionality into the main sos project. This sub command will perform further data obfuscation on reports, such as scrubbing IP addresses, domain names, and user-provided keywords. See below for more information.
  /etc/sos.conf has been moved to /etc/sos/sos.conf, and the layout of the config file has changed:

  The general section has been renamed to global, and may be used to specify options that are available to all sos commands and sub-commands.
  Each sub-command will have its own section, e.g. sos report will load options from global and from report.
  Sos is now a Python3-only utility. Python2 is no longer supported in any capacity.

  Dropped use of make, building/installing sos from source should now
  exclusively be done via setuptools

  Report
  sos will now generate metadata and save it in sos_reports/manifest.json.

  7 new plugins: nvmetcli, drbd, openstack_designate, pmem,
  containers_common, hyperv, freeipmi

  The nfsserver plugin has been merged into the nfs plugin

  sos may now be used to collect data from within a container, rather
  than aborting if that container was not configured to allow sos to
  collect information from the host

  Added support for Container-Optimized OS (COS)

  Dropped Mac OSX support

  Dropped bzip2 compression support

  Users may now use the --clean or --mask option to process a report-
  being-generated through sos clean at runtime.

  Size limits will now apply to add_copy_spec() calls that target a
  directory

  The openshift plugin has been re-written to be used for Openshift
  Container Platform 4

  Significantly expanded the amount of API resources the
  openstack_octavia plugin will collect

  The networking plugin will no longer execute ethtool -e against NICs
  using the bnx2x driver

  The logs plugin will now capture journal information correctly when
  logs are stored in-memory only

  The systemd plugin will no longer collect systemd-resolve if the
  service is not running

  The openvswitch plugin has been significantly updated to pull more
  meaningful data, and now supports OpenFlow 1.4 and 1.5

  Plugin API changes
  The command execution/collection methods have been overhauled:

  add_cmd_output() should continue to be used to specify commands that should be executed during the collection phase
  exec_cmd() should now be used to execute commands and retrieve output during setup(), but will not save that output to the archive
  collect_cmd_output() should be used to execute commands, retrieve output during setup() and will save that output to the archive
  get_command_output() has been removed
  A new add_device_cmd() method is available to facilitate easier iteration of commands over a set of devices

  add_blockdev_cmd() has been added to facilitate iteration of commands of storage devices
  A container runtime abstraction has been added that aims to standardize the discovery of a container runtime in use (e.g. docker, podman) and the retrieval of data from the runtime across plugins

  Collect
  sos collect is a new sub command in this release, and is an integration of the standalone sos-collector project, with the aim being to collect sosreports from multiple systems simultaneously. Note that this sub-command requires python3-pexpect to be available. If the module is not available, sos collect will abort with an appropriate error message

  Compared to the standalone project, enhancements include:

  collect is now supported on all distributions that sos report supports (i.e. any distribution with a Policy defined)
  The --insecure-sudo option has been renamed to --nopasswd-sudo
  --threads in the context of the number of nodes to simultaneously connect to has been renamed to jobs
  Fixed a bug where a local node would be displayed for collection even when --no-local was used
  Cleaner
  sos clean, also available as sos mask, is a newly added sub-command in this release and is an implementation of the standalone soscleaner project. Its aim is to scrub potentially sensitive information from sosreports in a consistent manner, beyond the obfuscation done by plugins already.

  Support for ipv4 address/network obfuscation. Note that this will attempt to preserve topological relationships between discovered addresses
  Support for hostname, and domain name obfuscation.
  Support for user-provided keyword obfuscations
  Users may either use the --clean or --mask flag to sos report to obfuscate a report being generated, or may use sos (clean|mask) $archive to obfuscate an already existing report.
  Using the former will result in a single obfuscated report archive, while the latter approach will result in two; an obfuscated archive and the un-obfuscated original.
