Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Having u-u logs collection inside the apt plugin make more sense
  (instead of logs plugin) as it is using apt functionalities and python
  modules such as apt, apt_inst, apt_pkg.

  u-u is a mechanism to automatically install security upgrades on
  Debian/Ubuntu. It is enabled by default at installation.

  'sos' philosophy is that each plugin should be taken care of its own
  logs.

  [Test case]

  * Deploy Ubuntu (A container will do)
  * Run sosreport and make sure the systemd plugin is executed
    ** sosreport -o apt
  * Look the content of the generated tarball under 'path_to_sosreport/var/log/unattended-upgrades/'

  * And under 'path_to_sosreport/sos_logs/sos.log' for the execution log
  of the 'apt' plugin:

  sos.log:2021-02-06 11:23:55,257 INFO: [plugin:apt] collecting path
  '/var/log/unattended-upgrades/.....

  [Where problem could occur]

  If a problem have to occur, it will only be impacting the apt plugin
  itself, not the core functionalities of 'sos' nor its other plugins.

  A third party vendor might have to break the habit to assume that the
  'logs' plugin will take care of the 'u-u' logs, and that 'apt' is the
  way to move forward now.
