Please backport chef 13.8.7-6 (universe) from focal-proposed

[Liz Fong-Jones]

Please backport chef 13.8.7-6 (universe) from focal-proposed to bionic.

Reason for the backport:
========================
Makes available a modern, supported version of Chef, on Bionic LTS.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s focal -d bionic chef

Done: https://launchpad.net/~honeycomb.io/+archive/ubuntu/chef-backports/+packages

* bionic:
[x] Package builds with minimal modification (https://launchpadlibrarian.net/466707846/chef_13.8.7-6_13.8.7-6hny~bionic1.diff.gz)
[x] chef installs cleanly and runs
[x] ruby-chef-config installs cleanly and runs

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of chef. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new chef. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new chef installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.
