Bug description:
  [Impact]
  We have the APT news structure now in place and user should be seeing messages related to it when running some apt commands. We store that information in a specific folder (/run/ubuntu-advantage) related to the pro client. If that folder is not present, we are not saving the contents of the apt news endpoint and because of that, users are not seeing that message.

  [Test Case]

  We have a integration test that already covers this scenario. We have
  added the results of running that test here in the comments.

  [Regression Potential]

  We are just creating the folder necessary to store the APT news data.
  What will happen is that users that are not seeing that message will
  now see it, which is what we expect.

  If something fails with the directory creation, then the bug will
  persist: the client will log it, and people will not see apt news when
  running apt upgrade. As the command is run as root, there should be no
  permission error when creating a dir in /root.

  [Discussion]

  This folder should be present in the system if the user has run any
  pro command in the past. If that is not the case, then this bug
  happens. We are now always trying to create the folder before running
  the job that fetches the apt news messages
