Title:
  ubuntu-support-status does mark FIPS packages as unsupported on 18.04

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In ubuntu 18.04 with FIPS (via fips or fips-updates stream), ubuntu-
  support-status marks the FIPS packages as unsupported. As these
  packages are used by customers that require support, this message is
  confusing for existing as well as prospectives that test our product.

  ```
  $ sudo ua status
  ...
  fips          yes       n/a       NIST-certified core packages
  fips-updates  yes       enabled   NIST-certified core packages with priority security updates
  ```

  ```
  $ sudo ubuntu-support-status
  [sudo] password for nmav:
  Support status summary of 'ubuntu1804':

  You have 1604 packages (97.8%) supported until dubna 2023 (Canonical -
  5y)

  You have 5 packages (0.3%) that can not/no-longer be downloaded
  You have 31 packages (1.9%) that are unsupported

  Your Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is supported until dubna 2023.

  Run with --show-unsupported, --show-supported or --show-all to see more details
  ```

  The following command shows the FIPS-installed packages as
  unsupported:

  ```
  $ sudo ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported

  ppas.
