[Bug 1870408] Re: casper-md5check should leave a breadcrumb which apport, ubiquity, subiquity could use

[Brian Murray]

I think the logic to parse the json file and write the report keys
should exist in hookutils.py that way it is usable by the general
"ubuntu.py" hook and the ubiquity and subiquity hooks.

It'd be good if this file existed on an installed system. Will it be
copied from the live system to the installed one?

Bug description:
  casper-md5check should leave a breadcrumb which apport & ubiquity can
  pick up. (subiquity too)

  There will be a file called:

  /run/casper-md5check.json

  If it does not exist, or is empty the check did not run enough to
  validate anything. Treat as skip.

  If it has content it will have:
  {
     "checksum_missmatch" : [
        "./pics/red-upperleft.png",
        "./pics/red-lowerleft.png"
     ],
     "result" : "fail"
  }

  optional checksum_missmatch key, which will have a list of strings
  that are files that failed md5sum.

  result key, which can have string values "pass" "fail" "skip".

  One can use python's json or yaml safe_load to parse the file into a
  dictionary.
