ubuntu-helpers: New script "enable-proposed"

I've also added an 'enable-proposed' script, similar to enable-debsrc,
which adds DIST-proposed entries (deb and deb-src) for components
currently enabled.  IOW, if you don't have
universe/restricted/multiverse components enabled for anything, it won't
add them for -proposed, but if you do, it will.

The script also strives to use the same archive URI you are using for
the main component, so if you're using a mirror it will also pull
-proposed from that mirror too.
