    Enhance unminimize to transform into a base image for ubuntu-cpc
    
    The unminimize script previously just restored the system documentation
    and translations, man pages, and installed ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard
    packages to provide the familiar Ubuntu minimal system. But such an image
    never became an equivalent of base image.
    
    Upon investigation and looking at how the base image is constructed -
    https://git.launchpad.net/livecd-rootfs/tree/live-build/auto/config#n1108 -
    we use the following things:
     - minimal task
     - standard task
     - cloud-image task (which involves ubuntu-server)
     - ubuntu-minimal package
     - server task if arch != amd64
    
    OTOH, in the unminimize script, we use the following:
    (https://git.launchpad.net/livecd-rootfs/tree/live-build/auto/build#n286)
     - ubuntu-minimal package
     - ubuntu-standard package
    
    So upon running some tests, it was found that if we install ubuntu-server
    (with --fix-policy flag), we get the resulting image equivalent to that
    of a base image.
