Integrate Tomcat 9.0.33 in Ubuntu 20.04

[Valters Jansons]

Rhea,

SRU (Stable Release Update) is the process for how updates are
introduced to already released Ubuntu versions. You can read more
about it at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
Generally speaking, only minimal changes are applied to avoid
disrupting existing installations. This is to make life as easy as
possible for you, when using in a "stable" environment - to avoid
breakage.

It might be possible to directly pick the upstream fix "64195: Revert
simplification of NIO block read and write" from
https://github.com/apache/tomcat/commit/6e60713c75141bc00f03f08f759df993a6416c71
However, this should be evaluated further, and followed through with
the described process for SRUs. In particular, to show (1) what the
impact currently is, (2) what test scenario can be used, e.g. what
minimal source code can reproduce this issue, and how to build and run
it, and (3) what potential issues may arise for existing Tomcat
installations with this change introduced. See more in the linked SRU
page Section 4 "Procedure".

There already appears to be a bug filed as LP #1903851 in Launchpad
(Ubuntu tracker) for "Tomcat9: multipart upload fails over https". See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat9/+bug/1903851
This should be updated to follow the SRU expectations.

Wishing you best of luck,
Valters Jansons
