Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  * A new sosreport version is available upstream, and following the
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates policy for stable release
  exception we will now SRU the sosreport 4.8.2 upstream release.

  * This release introduces a couple of new plugins as well as bugfixes
  done between the previous Ubuntu 4.7.2 sosreport version and the new
  4.8.2.

  [ Test Plan ]

   * The detailed test plan can be found on
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates and should be tested by a
  couple of users.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  * Some plugins might stop working, and this will show when running
  sosreport.

  * If there is an issue with a plugin that is causing instability to
  the system, this can be disabled by running 'sosreport -n
  <plugin_name>'.

  * Currently running sos collect with Juju 3 is -not- working, even for
  the current 4.5.6 Ubuntu version, we are working upstream on a fix
  here: https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/3422 this is not part of
  the core functionality of sos, and one can still run sos report
  manually on the nodes.

  [ Other Info ]

  * Useful plugins and updates that are now part of 4.8.2 and could do some testing:
  * Fixed a bug where all-logs may not have captured output if the command being collected was installed via snap packaging.

  * New plugins: perccli2, Instructlab, kea, bird, bootc, fail2ban, microcloud
