[Bug 1686183] [NEW] Ship ubuntu-advantage in basefiles for ubuntu

[David Britton]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]

 * Allow ubuntu-advantage users to access the extended security
maintenance script with a simple command line tool.  This script needs
to hit precise machines and be easy for ubuntu-advantage customers to
enable, thus basefiles was chosen as a home.

[Test Case]

 * Run ubuntu-advantage, it should print out help
 * Run ubuntu-advantage enable <token>, but you need to be an ubuntu-advantage customer to get that token.  In the end, the script simply adds and removes an /etc/apt/sources.list.d entry.
 * you can contact me (dpb at canonical.com) if you would like a token for test purposes.

[Regression Potential]

 * Low, this is a new script, not included in any automated startup
paths.
