Following on from previous similar package update requests @ LP:
#2084496, LP: #2073161, LP: #2064580 LP: #2020762 and LP: #1996735, this
bug is a request to update the google-osconfig-agent package to the
upstream version `20250115.01` @
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/osconfig/releases/tag/20250115.01

This package has an SRU exception @
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#google-osconfig-agent which
includes an ageing exception detailed @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/google-
osconfig-agent-Updates

[Impact]

This package is provided by Google for installation within guests that
run on Google Compute Engine. It is part of a collection of tools and
daemons, that ensure that the Ubuntu images published to GCE run
properly on their platform.

Cloud platforms evolve at a rate that can't be handled in six-month
increments, and they will often develop features that they would like to
be available to customers who don't want to upgrade from earlier Ubuntu
releases. As such, updating this package to more recent upstream
releases is required within all Ubuntu releases, so they continue to
function properly in the GCP environment.

[Test Case]

When a new version of this package is uploaded to -proposed, the
following will happen:

 * an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published to the ubuntu-os-cloud-devel project
 * the CPC twam will run internal validations (CTF) and Google's upstream test suite `cloud-image-tests` (CIT)
 * the GCE team will be asked to validate that the new package addresses the issues it is expected to address, and that the image passes their own internal image validation.

If all the testing indicates that the new package is acceptable,
verification can be considered done.

[Vendored Dependency]

TBC

[Where Problems Could Occur]

There are many upstream changes in `20250115.01-ubuntu1` vs.
`20240926.03-ubuntu1`; however between the cloud-image-tests suite [0]
(which is run for validation by CPC _and_ Google) and CPC's own internal
test harness (CTF), there is confidence that most if not all "edge
cases" and/or obvious regressions concerns can be dismissed before the
new version lands in `-updates`

[Other Information]

This bug is used for tracking of releasing the new upstream version for
all supported series, as per the approved policy mentioned in the
following MRE:
