Title:
  Remove uptime from the motd-news user agent

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in base-files source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in base-files source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed
Status in base-files source package in Focal:

Bug description:
  [Impact] 
  The uptime value in the user-agent string sent to the motd-news server is unused and not necessary. It should be removed.

  [Test Case]
  Inspect the /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news script and verify that uptime is no longer used.

  Previous version:
  $ grep uptime /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news 
  # Some messages may only be pertinent before or after some amount of uptime
  read up idle < /proc/uptime
  uptime="uptime/$up/$idle"
  USER_AGENT="curl/$curl_ver $lsb $platform $cpu $uptime cloud_id/$cloud_id"

  Updated version:
  $ grep uptime /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news
   (no output)

  
  [Regression Potential] 
  The server side, if it were checking this value, could be surprised by this change.

  [Other Info]
  N/A

  [Original Description]
  I don't why that was included but it shouldn't be. Please remove it.
