[sru] sos upstream 4.7.0

[Arif Ali]

[ Impact ]

* A new sosreport version is available upstream, and following the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates policy for stable release exception we will now SRU the sosreport 4.7.0 upstream release.

* This release introduces a couple of new plugins as well as bugfixes done between the previous Ubuntu 4.5.6 sosreport version and the new 4.7.0.

[ Test Plan ]

 * The detailed test plan can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates and should be tested by a couple of users.

[ Where problems could occur ]

* Some plugins might stop working, and this will show when running sosreport.

* Uploading to S3 needs the python3-boto3 dependency installed.

* If there is an issue with a plugin that is causing instability to the system, this can be disabled by running 'sosreport -n <plugin_name>'.

* Currently running sos collect with Juju 3 is -not- working, even for the current 4.5.6 Ubuntu version, we are working upstream on a fix here: https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/3422 this is not part of the core functionality of sos, and one can still run sos report manually on the nodes.

[ Other Info ]

* Useful plugins that are now part of 4.7.0 and could do some testing:

* runtime/lxd We have added an LXD runtime so that we can gather data directly from LXD, same with what one would do with k8s.
* plugins/canonical_livepatch_onprem.py will gather data from livepatch-server
* plugins/ceph.py add Reef release commands and gather microceph data
* plugins/coredump.py will capture coredump info from coredumpctl
* plugins/infinidat.py will gather data from servers that make use if the Infinidat storage solution
* plugins/kubernetes.py will now gather container information from microk8s
* plugins/mellanox_firmware.py will gather data from mellanox devices
* plugins/openstack_masakari.py will gather data from openstack masakari
* plugins/openstack_masakarimonitors.py will gather data from openstack masakari monitors
* plugins/vectordev.py will gather the config from vectordev (cos-proxy)

The above debdiffs have been added, and ready for verification

We are waiting for the 4.4 main patch for bionic in #2038648 to be uploaded before we crack on with the Pro update for bionic for 4.7.0

@Arif are the attached debdiffs ready to be uploaded? I do not know if I get it right, but the bug you mentioned is not yet fixed:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sosreport/+bug/2038648

If this is ready for ~ubuntu-sponsors, please state so. If not, please unsubscribe ~ubuntu-sponsors and subscribe again once it is ready.

@Lucas, it is ready.

We were planning to resolve that bug as part of the whole SRU of 4.7.0.

When n/m/j/f are done, we'll get the bionic one done too, and that will be 4.7.0 as well, I hope that makes sense.

Or, would you prefer us to fix the current version there first, and then do the SRU for 4.7.0?

EDIT: in-fact I already uploaded a debdiff on that LP, so that is ready for SRU for that fix too

new debdiff with new oracular being the version, and building on top of the 2 versions that were not there previously
