Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  When doing SRU for sos 4.8.2 we encountered obfuscation issues,
  although not a regression at the time, it was still an issue that had
  been present for a while

  1. So, these passwords would be fully visible to the end support personnel and therefore leaked passwords.
  2. Some logs had not longer being collected which are essential for debugging, such as auth.log, syslog and kern.log in /var/log
  3. The ubuntu plugin was no longer collecting Ubuntu Pro details due to the package name for ubuntu-pro, and hence essential for supportability for customers that have Ubuntu Pro
  4. autopkgtest for focal rendered a new issue, was not necessarily an issue, but the script was catching ir

  [ Test Plan ]

  Test 1. Deploy a openstack simple cloud, and run the sos report, check to see if passwords are obfuscated in configuration file for radosgw and horizon config in particular /etc/ceph/ceph.conf and /etc/horizon/local_settings.py
  Test 2. Deploy all series, and ensure the the auth.log, syslog and kerne.log are collected from /var/log.
  Test 3. On the same hosts as Test 2, ensure that /var/log/ubuntu-advantage logs are collected
  Test 4. Ensure to do autopkgtest via PPA for arm64 before going for SRU, and ensure all is good before submitting

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  1. The corresponding files are not obfuscated, and we need to update the patches.
  2. The files that have been specified are not being collected.
