Bug Description

This is a request to add an enhancement in our motd.d to inform users of the following:

1) that livepatch is available for their platform/kernel if they don't have it set up and installed right now.

2) When a system is protected by livepatch, and the system is currently patched (i.e., canonical-livepatch has active patches applied).

3) when a system is protected by livepatch and no livepatches exist yet for the kernel version, a single line message of 'This system is protected by canonical-livepatch." or similar.

summary: - Livepatch motd enahancement to show people how livepatch can help
- protect systems.
+ Livepatch motd enhancement to show people how livepatch can help protect
+ systems.

I believe no code changes are needed to the linux package.

    - Livepatch MOTD script (LP: #1710976)
    - better "status" command output formatting (LP: #1719034)
