Title:
  [SRU] Move to Canonical's GeoIP Service

Status in calamares-settings-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in calamares-settings-ubuntu source package in Focal:
  Fix Released
Status in calamares-settings-ubuntu source package in Groovy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Lubuntu currently uses ipapi.co for GeoIP services.
   * ipapi.co is not controlled by us, and could become obsolete in the future.
   * Canonical already provides this service, so we should move to use this instead.

  [Test Case]

   1. With a Lubuntu 20.04 LTS daily ISO, install the package from focal-proposed.
   2. Ensure that your current timezone is correctly identified and selected.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Any underlying regressions to the XML library could affect this change.
   * If Canonical's GeoIP service goes down, the default location is New York. This provides a clear fallback.
   * Edge cases with Canonical's GeoIP service might occur, but should be addressed with the service itself and not our settings.
