[Bug 1719671] Re: [SRU][xenial] include fips enablement into ubuntu-advantage

[Nish Aravamudan]

@j-latten: It's unclear to me if this is actually intended for all
releases (based upon the nominated tasks by Manoj and Andreas) or just
Xenial (based upon the bug description). Can you clarify?

Title:
  [SRU][xenial] include fips enablement into ubuntu-advantage

Status in ubuntu-advantage-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [IMPACT]
  when "ubuntu-advantage enable-fips <token>" is issued from commandline,

   - configure the private PPA where the FIPS modules are located
   - install the FIPS modules from this PPA to the local machine from where the script is run
   - configure the bootloader to enable fips

  Upon successful completion of these steps, the customer then gets a message stating to reboot
  the machine to complete the fips enablement process.

  Without the script, customers must perform the steps manually.

  [FIX]

  Add enable-fips to advantage script. See debdiff below.

  [TEST]
  A test package is available: and it was tested by me on S390, PPC64EL and AMD64 architectures. 

  [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
  The patch adds a new features to ubuntu-advantage-tool in Xenial to enable fips. Current functionality was not altered.
