[SRU] MAAS 2.0rc2 to Xenial

[Andres Rodriguez]

We would like to request a SRU for MAAS 2.0. This follow the approval by the Ubuntu Technical Board for backporting new MAAS upstream releases.

[Impact]
This is a new version of MAAS that provides bugfixes only. It increases MAAS' reliability and serviceability and greatly improves MAAS as a whole in comparison to MAAS beta3, which is currently in Xenial Main

[Regression Potential]
Minimal. MAAS has been thoroughly tested stand alone and upgrading from 2.0b3 to 2.0rc1. It has been QA'd in a CI lab as well as other production deployments:

Tests done:

1. Upgraded a production lab from 2.0b3 to 2.0rc1.

2. MAAS CI Lab:
 - Tests Installation (from pkgs), configuration / customization of MAAS, enlistment, commissioning. It also tests deployments with Juju.
 - Tests various API's
 - Tests are performed against Xenial

3. Other manual testing include:
 - Installation (both fresh and upgrades)
 - Configuration
 - Taking nodes through the lifecycle for regression testing.
 - Custom configuration to ensure proper operation.
 - Tests API's for regressions, and keeping backwards compatibility.
