[Bug 1617080] [NEW] update-manager apport package hook should gather HWE infromation

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

Sometimes systems can have a hard time installing the HWE replacements,
https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/fc13839a8f16399991b1e1907d410c7f161d7fc9,
it'd be helpful if apport were to gather information about what HWE
packages are installed and which HWE replacement packages are
recommended.

Test Case
---------
1) Run ubuntu-bug update-manager
2) Observe there are no HWE fields in the report

With the version of update-manager from -proposed you'll now see
HWEunsupported (the output of hwe-support-status --show-all-unsupported)
and HWEreplacements (the output of hwe-support-status --show-
replacements).  If you are running the -lts-xenial stack these may be
empty.
