Bug description:
  [ ubuntu-advantage-tools SRU info ]

  [ Impact ]

  If ubuntu-advantage-tools (u-a-t) is not already installed, but cloud-
  init user-data includes "ubuntu_advantage" configuration data, then
  cloud-init will try to install u-a-t. On install, u-a-t needs to start
  ubuntu-advantage.service. ubuntu-advantage.service is ordered
  After=cloud-config.service. This results in deadlock, preventing apt
  from ever finishing. The apt lock is held forever and cloud-init never
  continues.

  The fix is to break the deadlock by removing the "After=cloud-
  config.service" ordering dependency from ubuntu-advantage.service.
  ubuntu-advantage.service should still wait until cloud-config.service
  is done activating to do any work though, so that waiting is now
  implemented in the python script that is executed by the service.

  [ Test Plan ]

  ```
  # Launch a lxd container with ubuntu_advantage cloudinit user-data:
  lxc launch ubuntu-daily:bionic test --config "user.user-data=#cloud-config\nubuntu_advantage: {}"
  # Enter the container
  lxc shell test
  # Remove u-a-t
  apt remove ubuntu-advantage-tools
  # tell cloud init to clean and reboot
  cloud-init clean --logs --reboot
  # enter the container again
  lxc shell test
  # wait for cloud-init to finish
  cloud-init status --wait
  # if the bug is happening, that command will never finish
  ```
  This test has been added as a regression test to u-a-t and will be run as part of the validation for LP: #2048921 (see: https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-pro-client/blob/release-31/features/install_uninstall.feature#L116)

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  This does not remove the ordering dependency, but just changes how the
  ordering dependency between ubuntu-advantage.service and cloud-
  config.service is implemented. This difference in implementation could
  cause different unexpected ordering problems to occur in the future.

  The waiting function in python was designed such that it will
  eventually continue if cloud-config.service takes longer than 20
  minutes. If cloud-config.service takes 20 minutes doing an Ubuntu Pro
  related operation (normal operations take less than 10 seconds at
  most), then ubuntu-advantage.service could continue and potentially
  error when it tries to do something in conflict with the ongoing
  operation. Alternatively, if the wait was implemented incorrectly,
  then ubuntu-advantage.service could stall forever unnecessarily if
  cloud-config.service doesn't finish.

  
  [Original Description]

  During install of Ubuntu Server 22.04.3 you are asked if you want to
  attach to Ubuntu Pro. If you do then following a reboot you cannot run
  apt. cloud-init runs and installs ubuntu-advantage-tools which for
  some reason never releases the lock file.

  $ sudo apt dist-upgrade
  Waiting for cache lock: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 994 (apt-get)

  If you reboot at this point then you receive:

  $ sudo apt dist-upgrade
  E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
