Bug description:
  [ Impact ] 
  The output of `pro status` on non-LTS releases was confusing. It didn't clearly describe that no services are available.

  The fix is to show a message when there are no available services for
  a machine.

  [ Test Plan ]
  To reproduce:
  - attach a non-lts machine
  - run `pro status`
  - see the confusing output

  To see the fix (once it's available)
  - attach a non-lts machine
  - run `pro status`
  - see the message: "No Ubuntu Pro services are available to this system."

  This is covered by an automated test in the pro-client test suite,
  defined here: https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-pro-
  client/blob/release-27.15/features/attach_validtoken.feature#L8

  [ Where problems could occur ]
  This change touches the `status` command, which is widely used. If something goes wrong, it could break `pro status` in some circumstances.

  Or, if users were relying on the previous version of the output in
  some way, then they will be disappointed. Note: the pro-client team
  does not consider the human-readable output of `pro status` to be
  stable and we discourage people from relying on it. In the future it
  will change even more.

  [ Other Info ]
  Notice that the message doesn't say that there are no Pro services on non-LTS releases. That is because of two things:
  1. There may be Pro services available on non-lts releases in the future
  2. There are situations where no services are available on LTS release (e.g. on ppc64el machines)

  [ Original Description ]
  I'm currently in Kinetic (22.10) and used my private free token to enable pro with:

  $ sudo pro attach MYTOKEN
  Unable to determine current instance-id
  This machine is now attached to 'Ubuntu Pro - free personal subscription'

  SERVICE          ENTITLED  STATUS    DESCRIPTION

  NOTICES
  Operation in progress: pro attach

  Enable services with: pro enable <service>

       Account: XXX@xxxxxxx
  Subscription: Ubuntu Pro - free personal subscription

  Same result when doing "pro status". This is missleading. There should
  be a warning or something that mentions that Pro is only for LTS
  releases.
