ubuntu-core tarballs to be renamed to ubuntu-base

[Steve Langasek]

[SRU Justification]
To remove confusion with the ubuntu-core snappy product, the ubuntu-core root tarballs are being retroactively renamed to ubuntu-base. This requires an SRU of livecd-rootfs to align with the changes in ubuntu-cdimage, so that daily/point release builds of the ubuntu-base tarballs continue to be possible.

[Regression potential]
Minimal; this is a minimal change to livecd-rootfs to recognize the ubuntu-base project name, all other code is left unchanged.

[Test case]
1. Run an ubuntu-base build with -proposed by running 'DIST=[xenial|trusty] PROPOSED=1 for-project ubuntu-base cron.daily-live --live'
2. Confirm that the tarball builds successfully and contains a rootfs.

Successful image builds of both trusty and xenial dailies with PROPOSED enabled:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/trusty/daily/20160511
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/xenial/daily/20160511

There was one build failure of the arm64 tarball on trusty, but nothing related to this change.
