Bug description:
  ubuntu-advantage-tools installs "core" snap even though canonical-
  livepatch snap exists for every base

  it seems like instead of installing core22/stable on jammy systems, it
  installs latest/stable with core snap base, making core snap
  uninstallable.

  I will try to reproduce this, but this is off.

  Jammy+ systems, must not have core snap as unremovable anymore.

  === summary
  snapd: once core snap is installed, it can never be removed

  canonical-livepatch-client: does not provide base:bare build, nor does
  the default track point to most current base (today "base:core22");
  nor do latest/stable/ubuntu-MM.YY branches exist that use matching
  base (i.e. latest/stable/ubuntu-22.04 publishes the core22/stable snap
  revisions)

  ubuntu-advantage-tools: installs default track livepatch-client, which
  doesn't match a given LTS release

  ubuntu-release-upgrader: doens't currently switch canonical-livepatch-
  client to use modern/matching base snap track.
