Bug Description
[Impact]
This release sports both bug-fixes and new features and we would like to
make sure all of our supported customers have access to these
improvements. The notable ones are:
* add support for realtime kernel service on Jammy as a beta service
* update code to use new contract overrides directive
* Make FIPS an incompatible service for FIPS Updates
* Unhold more FIPS packages when enabling FIPS
* Unhold FIPS packages when enabling FIPS Updates
See the changelog entry below for a full list of changes and bugs.
[Test Case]
The following development and SRU process was followed:

[Regression Potential]
Since we using a new contracts directive to perform series and cloud specific overrides on the entitlements definitions, we could be parsing that information incorrectly, not respecting the
overrides. We have an extensive number of tests to cover different scenarios for services enablement/
We are also adding a new service that can only be enabled on Jammy. This service is incompatible with Livepatch, FIPS and FIPS Updates. If we have made any mistake on that implementation, we could have a gap where users will be able to enable it on other series or together with the incompatible services, but we do have tests that cover that.
[Discussion]
Most of the FIPS work on this release is aimed at allowing FIPS PRO machines to enable FIPS Updates if necessary. On those machines, the FIPS packages are installed and hold during the image creation. When UA runs auto-attach on the first boot, we enable FIPS and unhold those packages. However, we have identified that we were not unholding all of the FIPS packages anymore. This means that if an user tries to enable FIPS Updates, it will fail because we will not be able to install some of the FIPS Updates packages due to some package holds. Besides fixing that, we have also added safer mechanisms here to guarantee that we will properly unhold all the packages, like unholding them when FIPS Updates is being enabled.
[Changelog]
