[Bug 1827951] [NEW] snaps not refreshed when upgrading from cosmic to disco

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

The function _replaceDebsWithSnaps() has the release version of Ubuntu
hardcoded in it and was not updated in Ubuntu 19.04. Subsequently, the
snaps are not refreshed when upgrading from Ubuntu 18.10 to Ubuntu
19.04. This was fixed in Eoan by utilizing python distro_info's ability
to get the release version for a codename but unfortunately that's not
available in Ubuntu 19.04 so we'll just update the hardcoded version.
