[Bug 1822340] Re: [UIFe] motd messaging rewrite

[Julian Andres Klode]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Changes to the motd and update counting to count ESM security upgrades as security upgrades, and show some information about ESM upgrades.
  
  [Test case]
  The motd output has unit tests for the various combinations, passing counts of various upgrade types. That said, the actual counting might be wrong.
  
  The regression potential is higher in releases with ESM, as they'll get
  more messages and have more stuff that could go wrong.
  
  [Regression potential]
  Potentially wrong reporting, lost translations.
  
  [disco UIFe]

+ 
+ [SRU]
+ We're only SRUing this to trusty, as xenial and bionic will have some more changes, and it would just be a waste of time to SRU the trusty one there.
