[Bug 2060261] Re: [SRU] New upstream microrelease .NET 8.0.4 and SDK 8.0.104

[Dominik Viererbe]

I noticed that the binary packages aspnetcore-runtime-dbg-8.0, dotnet-
runtime-dbg-8.0, dotnet-sdk-dbg-8.0 were not build on mantic and jammy.

I build and tested the .NET 8 April Update in a new PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~dviererbe/+archive/ubuntu/dotnet-april-ppa5

The new PPA also contains a S390X build on noble.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * This correspond to an upcoming upstream microrelease (Microsoft
  Patch Tuesday microrelease).

   * It is beneficial for our latest LTS users to have access to the
  latest .NET stack.

   * This update is bundled with minor fixes:
     - updates Canonical support information
     - fixes/adds version parsing edge cases

  [Test Case]

   * The package should build successfully in noble-proposed, mantic-
  proposed and jammy-proposed.

   * The packages should be installable on noble, mantic and jammy
     on amd64 and arm64 architectures.

   * Autopackage tests should pass.

   * The usual manual tests that have been seen in the previous microreleases
     LP: #2057982 (see Test Case section there).

     Note: The need for manual testing is largely reduced since the last SRU,
           because the autopkgtests improvements far exceeds the coverage
           provided by the mentioned manual test plans.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Upstream tests are usually satisfactory, but there is always a risk
  of something breaking.

  [Other]

  * 8.0.4 is the version number of the .NET Runtime and 8.0.104 is the version
    number of the .NET SDK. The package version only refers to the SDK version
    number.

  * We are only building the 8.0.1xx feature band, because this is the only
    feature band that allows to be build from source. See explanation of feature
    bands: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/releases-and-support#feature-bands-sdk-only

  * Overview of how dotnet is versioned: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-
