Title:
  eol-server dates are empty for current LTS releases

Status in distro-info-data package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  The ubuntu.csv file from distro-info-data contains a column for eol-
  server which one can then use ubuntu-distro-info to display the days
  until that milestone is reached. However, that column is empty for
  many Ubuntu releases (because there isn't a distinction between EoL
  for desktop and servers anymore) which leads to the following
  confusing situation. Additionally, one can't have an empty column in
  distro-info-data so adding an eol-esm column (bug 1808038) for LTS
  releases depends on eol-server being populated.

  [Test Case]
   $ ubuntu-distro-info --supported -r --days=eol-server
  14.04 LTS (unknown)
  16.04 LTS (unknown)
  18.04 LTS (unknown)
  18.10 (unknown)
  19.04 (unknown)

  With the version of distro-info and distro-info-data from -proposed
  there will be a number of days displayed for the LTS releases e.g.:

  16.04 LTS 777

  [Regression Potential]
  There isn't any we are just populating an existing column in the csv file. 

  [Original Description]
  I'd suggest modifying ubuntu.csv so that the eol-server column contains the same date as the eol column for all LTS releases which is consistent with the existing releases that eol-server.
