[SRU] update python-petname and golang-petname libraries in xenial

[Dustin Kirkland ]

Please backport/update/SRU the golang-petname and python-petname packages in Xenial to the new ones from Yakety. These are needed for the MAAS 2.0 and LXD 2.0 builds. The new model uses much simpler, more pronouncable and memorable names -- a critical complaint of current MAAS and LXD randomly generated names.

Note that this update is 100% API compatible.

== SRU ==

[Impact]
The impact of this bug is that MAAS and LXD generally produce really complicated, unpronouceable random names, like:
 - polyvinylidene-latesha
 - quarantinable-ayesha
 - troglodytical-flor

The new petname methodology uses animals, has been meticulously curated, and undergoes a thorough series of quality tests. New petnames look like this:
 - suited-mallard
 - pure-ringtail
 - calm-shark

[Test Case]

To test this, you can install the new golang-petname, python-petname, and python3-petname packages and simply run:
 $ golang-petname
 novel-muskox
 $ python-petname
 giving-shrew
 $ python3-petname
 new-mole

Each of these build against the library (golang, python3) that MAAS and LXD use.

[Regression Potential]

Minimal. The only difference in behavior is that the new methodology produces far fewer unique combinations (~200K vs. ~200M). I've already discussed this with the MAAS and LXD maintainers.

[Other Info]

None.

The xenial backport is broken: It generates a new libgolang-petname1 binary which is empty. It either needs to be fixed to actually have a shared library or (as shlib support seems new in yakkety's Go) be dropped for the backport. For example with something like

if (not_supports_shlibs)
   export DH_OPTIONS=-N libgolang-petname1
endif

And the golang package works well too (which means that the library should be good as well).
