Bug description:
  [Impact]

  This release includes both bug-fixes and new features and we would like to make sure all of our supported customers have access to these
  improvements. The notable ones are:

     * Changing the Ubuntu Pro beta banner in apt output to a generic "APT
       news" announcement banner
     * "APT news" will only appear when using `apt` (so it won't appear when
       using `apt-get`)
     * Adding a new command to permanently disable current and future "APT
       news": `pro config set apt_news=false`

  See the changelog entry below for a full list of changes and bugfixes.

  [Test Case]

  The following development and SRU process will be followed:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAdvantageToolsUpdates

  The ubuntu-advantage-tools team will be in charge of attaching the
  artifacts and console output of the appropriate run to the bug.
  ubuntu-advantage-tools team members will not mark ‘verification-done’
  until this has happened.

  [Regression Potential]

  If anyone's scripts have changed in the past couple weeks to expect
  the Ubuntu Pro banner in the current location, they may break again.

  Touching postinst is always a relatively risky change. In this case it
  is necessary to migrate the old banner to the new banner and to fix
  some file permissions. If we made a mistake somewhere, it could cause
  failures during an apt upgrade to this version.

  [Discussion]

  Unfortunately, this will still output APT news when -q/-qq/-qqq is
  passed to apt. This is because apt hooks aren't aware of what options
  are set. The apt bug for this is here
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1992472

  Because we are now limiting APT news to only the `apt` binary, `apt-
  get` should be safe to use without worrying about extra messages.

  APT news lines will always begin with "#" so it should hopefully be
  straightforward to parse out if necessary.

  [Changelog]

    - d/postinst: remove the Ubuntu Pro beta apt message and set up the
      configurable flag for "APT news" instead
    - collect-logs: do not fail if a file cannot be read (LP: #1991858)
    - config: add a flag to disable "APT news" (LP: 1992026)
    - messaging: add announcement of "APT news" to apt output
    - messaging: only show "APT news" when using apt binary (GH: #2288)
    - version: fix permissions on tmp version file (GH: #2294)
