Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The main feature in this release is bringing esm-apps to GA. Beta flags and text are removed, and the service is available for all LTS.

  There is also an important bug fix, where we no longer change the
  system apt configuration to get esm package information (LP:
  #1990378).

  Other changes include:
      * Enabling autocomplete for the 'pro' command (GH: #2280)
      * Do not show invalid subcommands in autocomplete (GH: #2279)
      * Support attaching when snapd is held (LP: #1997514)
      * Do not fail if the apt-hook executable is not present (LP: #1994480)
      * Redesign output of security-status to properly show support (LP: #2002407)

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

  [Test Case]
  The following development and SRU process was 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.

  Additionally, to test the APT ESM setup, we will perform the following
  steps:

  1) Launch a LXD machine and install version 27.13.1 of ubuntu-advantage-tools
  2) Install the bpfcc-tools package on the host machine
  3) Run the command:

  sudo execsnoop-bpfcc -u LXD_USER_ID -T

  Where LXD_USER_ID is the user id that LXD uses to run (Usually it is
  1000000)

  4) On the LXD container, run `apt update` and verify that only one
  `update-success-stamp` is created on the logs of `execsnoop-bpfcc`
  (which indicates that apt update ran only once)

  * Automated Test Results
  <TODO>
  Attach or link the following automated integration test runs for ubuntu-advantage-tools on each affected LTS release
  </TODO>

  [Regression Potential]
  In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
  aforementioned integration tests are attached to this bug.

  Removing the unauthenticated esm-repos from Xenial machines in
  postinst may remove the esm sources.list files even if we didn't
  create them. However, the chance for a user adding exactly this file
  is really low, and if the service is enabled, postinst keeps it there.
  Enabling the service would overwrite any file with the same name
  anyway.

  If the local esm caches are not updated properly (when the service
  runs, as part of the pre-update hook), the user will not see any
  available esm updates if the service is disabled. This will not fail,
  it will just not show the lists until the update succeeds. We have
  integration tests to make sure it runs as fast and reliable as
  possible.

  Now that apt news are server-based, a network fail may keep outdated
  messages in the apt output, or miss new messages. This is mitigated by
  using a local cache for the messages and, similar to the issue above,
  will fix itself as soon as the server can be reached again, and does
  not pose any error or fail.

  Magic attach command line is only tested against a staging environment. We consider this enough for the release given:
  - clear expectation that the production environment will work exactly the same, and
  - a well tested flow using the API
  The service is expected to be up by Jan 26th.

  [Discussion]
  The change in the esm package reports involves apt configuration, requiring a pre-SRU review. This review happened in the PR itself, by Julian Klode and Robie Basak:
  https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-advantage-client/pull/2342

  Additionally, we identified that we need a more isolated APT ESM setup (see comment #1). By isolated, we mean that it should only have access to the necessary system APT configuration to work (For example, identify that a proxy is set in the system APT and use it too). This was achieved in this PR:
  https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-advantage-client/pull/2393

  Which will be release in version 27.13.1

  Finally, esm-apps was going to be GA last November, but the release
  date was postponed to January 26th. This SRU needs to land on -updates
  exactly on this date.
