  [SRU] Bring translations from launchpad

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  In the last couple releases we have not updated the translations from  Launchpad. We are bringing them to the source package in an effort to unblock this SRU release:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1991030

  This is because the launchpad translations already have the "pro
  status" string properly translated.

  Not only this will unblock this SRU, but it will make the package
  aligned with the launchpad translations.

  [Test Case]
  To test this change, we will need to verify if the message:
  See https://ubuntu.com/esm or run: sudo pro status

  Is correctly translated for the languages that have added support for
  this message.

  [Regression Potential]
  Since we are bringing the translations from launchpad, there could be translations done directly in the package that are now missed. Although this is unlikely, since the translations on Launchpad are better maintained them the ones in the package.

  Note that update-notifier is not using language pack (reasons in
  https://launchpad.net/bugs/562900) so it relies on translations
  updates to be included in the source. We used to do such 'export
  translations for launchpad and include them in the vcs' but that
  hadn't been done since 2013 which means none of the strings added in
  the last years for ua and now ubuntu pro have a working translation
  today, such the risk of regression a translated string there is rather
  inexistant

  [Other Info]
  We have some gray areas regarding the verification of this bug. The target message:

  See https://ubuntu.com/esm or run: sudo pro status

  Is not translated into all Ubuntu releases, like Xenial. For those releases, we are then just updating the translations using the Launchpad
  language packs.

  Therefore, we might need future SRUs just to update the translation of
  new messages into these releases.

  Additionally, we are still searching for a good way to just verify
  translation updates in the package.
