Bug description:
  SRU justification :
  Maas plugin collects more data than required.

  Impact : 
  Without this fix, the size of the collected output get become huge (multi-Gb)

  Fix : 
  Restrict the collected directories.

  Test Case : 
  On a Maas server with many installation images installed, running the fixed version will not collect the large files in /var/lib/maas/ephemeral and/or /var/lib/maas/tftp

  Regression : 
  None expected.

  Original description of the problem :

  When ran on a machine running as a maas cluster controller, putting
  the content of /var/lib/maas in the sosreport copy all the fast
  installer and regular iso images used to deploy vm. As a result, the
  archive turns to be around 3Gb of size.
