Bug description:
  [Impact]

   The product names and product URLs of Ubuntu Advantage Extended
  Security Maintenance offerings have been rebranded prior to an
  official launch of the product ESM product in Ubuntu Xenial, Bionic
  and Focal. MOTD messages reference the old product name UA
  Infrastructure: Extended Security Maintenance as well as an invalid
  product URL https://ubuntu.com/esm.

  Correct both the product name "UA Infra: ESM" and the apt URL message
  See https://ubuntu.com/security/esm.

  Because these text messages are translated using gettext, translations
  will need to be updated as well.

  [Test Case]

   * Install unreleased ubuntu-advantage-tools from a PPA
   * Run: ua enable <yourToken> to activate UA apt repositories
   * Check MOTD messaging related to UA Infra: ESM prior to upgrade to -proposed update-notifier via /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable

   * Upgrade update-notifier to -proposed
   * Re-check MOTD messaging related to UA Infra: ESM to see expected messages (not on groovy as there are no esm repos)

  #!/bin/bash
  #
  # SRU Verification update-notifier + ubuntu=advantage-tools
  # Test procedure:
  # - launch container Trusty, Xenial or Bionic
  # - Install ubuntu-advantage-tools from https://launchpad.net/~ua-client/+archive/ubuntu/proposed which supports esm on trusty, xenial, bionic, and focal
  # - Attach container to UA subscription (which activates the ESM APT repos
  # - run apt_check --human-readable to assert ESM pkg counts ARE NOT reported
  # - Upgrade update-notifier to -proposed
  # - re-run apt_check --human-readable to assert ESM pkg counts ARE reported

  [Where problems could occur]

   *  Low risk:
      pep8 lint fixes plus MOTD text changes here. Minor logic changes in supplemental MOTD messaging for a product (ESM) that is not yet released and active in the wild on Xenial -> Focal. If messaging falls over the result is a lack of MOTD information about ESM package updates in motd, which is not yet released. If we can ensure we receive MOTD messaging about both ESM and non-ESM package updates without error, then risk of regression is minimal.

  [Other Info]

  [Original Description]

  MOTD text should align with the messaging that is being surfaced by
  ubuntu-advantage-tools and apt command line hook messaging.

  Current ESM product name is represented in MOTD as the following when
  logging into a VM:

  ### Current ESM-relatedMOTD messaging

  # When ESM is disabled:
  UA Infrastructure Extended Security Maintenance \(ESM\) is not enabled.

  Enable UA Infrastructure ESM to receive 14 additional security
  updates.

  # When ESM is enabled:
  UA Infrastructure Extended Security Maintenance \(ESM\) is enabled.

  14 of these updates are provided through UA Infrastructure ESM.

  #### Expected new ESM messaging:
  # When ESM is disabled:
  UA Infra: Extended Security Maintenance \(ESM\) is not enabled.

  Enable UA Infra: ESM to receive 14 additional security updates.

  # When ESM is enabled:
  UA Infra: Extended Security Maintenance \(ESM\) is enabled.

  14 of these updates are provided through UA Infrastructure

  UA Infra: Extended Security Maintenance \(ESM\) is not enabled.

  Enable UA Infra: ESM to receive 14 additional security updates.

  This request for product naming changes and standardization is also
  represented as a request against UA-Client tooling/apt-hooks/status
  messaging.

  client/issues/1212#issuecomment-713735291

  Additionally documentation URLs for esm are updated from
  ubuntu.com/esm -> ubuntu.com/security/esm.
