ubuntu-distro-info should include information about ESM status

From the cloud image publication, we currently use distro-info-data to determine whether a particular image is valid for a variety of reasons; we currently have to perform manual steps for precise. When looking at automating this, it became apparent to me that we won't be the only Ubuntu (developers|users) who might want this data available in a machine-readable format, hence the bug.

When ESM is enabled and the ESM archive is accessible - that location should be publishing Supported: field imho. And that field should be updated to match the ESM reality.

Cause it was my understanding that current ESM is a subset of regular LTS support. At least for precise, it is my understanding that the scope of supported architectures and packages is different.

I'm not sure where/how the look-aside information w.r.t. ESM can be published for those that do not have ESM enabled.

For clarity, I absolutely agree that this is a different type of support, and therefore would need to be a distinct field in the data (and perhaps would need to be just a boolean, as I don't believe Canonical has committed to a particular timeframe for ESM for precise, trusty or xenial?). It would also need to be exposed differently via `ubuntu-distro-info`.

Requiring access to the ESM archives to find out this information would be (a) annoying from an implementation point of view, as no other image/release-level support status information currently requires any interaction with the archives, and (b) leads to a chicken/egg problem (for example, if someone wants to write software which checks if ESM is available for their system before it gets configured).

This bug was fixed in the package distro-info - 0.21ubuntu1

---------------
distro-info (0.21ubuntu1) disco; urgency=medium

  * Provide support for the milestone eol-esm and add filters for
    supported-esm to ubuntu-distro-info along with the python and perl
    modules. (LP: #1808038)
