Bug Description

[Impact]

The ubuntu.csv file from distro-info-data contains a column for eol-server which one can then use ubuntu-distro-info to display the days until that milestone is reached. However, that column is empty for many Ubuntu releases (because there isn't a distinction between EoL for desktop and servers anymore) which leads to the following confusing situation. Additionally, one can't have an empty column in distro-info-data so adding an eol-esm column (bug 1808038) for LTS releases depends on eol-server being populated.

[Test Case]
 $ ubuntu-distro-info --supported -r --days=eol-server
14.04 LTS (unknown)
16.04 LTS (unknown)
18.04 LTS (unknown)
18.10 (unknown)
19.04 (unknown)

With the version of distro-info and distro-info-data from -proposed there will be a number of days displayed for the LTS releases e.g.:

16.04 LTS 777

[Regression Potential]
There isn't any we are just populating an existing column in the csv file.

[Original Description]
I'd suggest modifying ubuntu.csv so that the eol-server column contains the same date as the eol column for all LTS releases which is consistent with the existing releases that eol-server.
