Bug description:
  [Original Description]

  The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding ubuntu-advantage-tools.  This problem was most recently seen with package version 27.13.3~22.10.1, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/104213ca2086ad5b775cd6775a4cf995e8ead2c0 contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or traceback, and individual crash reports.
  If you do not have access to the Ubuntu Error Tracker and are a software developer, you can request it at http://forms.canonical.com/reports/.

  [Impact]
  When running the apt_news job, the job will fail if the contract does not have an effective date. Users will see a degraded status for the systemctl job.

  [Test Case]

  To test this fix we will add an integration test that target the
  scenario where we have null effectiveTo date and verify that the
  apt_news job does not fail and correctly show the expired message when
  running the `apt upgrade` command.

  [Regression Potential]
  This change is just making the code more resilient to null values for effective dates. Since the apt_news feature was broken on that scenario, we don't believe the fix should provide any major regression here.

  [Discussion]
  We are now assuming that the contract is expired if it does not have a valid effective date. This will allow us to correctly message the user and alert that the subscription need to be renewed.
