[Bug 1605635] [NEW] [SRU] Please backport pollen

[Dustin Kirkland ]

Public bug reported:

Please backport pollen version >=4.21 to Trusty and Xenial.

[Impact]
We need a newer version of pollen running on entropy.ubuntu.com.  Canonical IS requires that the package be updated in trusty-updates in order for this to happen.  We need a couple of things fixed: improved error logging and entropy available monitoring, 

[Test Case]
Start a new Ubuntu instance (trusty, xenial).  sudo apt install pollen pollinate.  Then, try running pollinate against localhost: 'sudo pollinate -r -s http://localhost:80'.  Also, check that an appropriate message is logged in /var/log/syslog.  grep pollen /var/log/syslog.

[Regression Potential]
The regression potential is mostly around the upstart/systemd jobs.  We should just be sure that the service starts/stops/restarts cleanly, and comes up automatically at boot.
