[IMPACT]
when "ubuntu-advantage enable-fips <token>" is issued from commandline,

 - configure the private PPA where the FIPS modules are located
 - install the FIPS modules from this PPA to the local machine from where the script is run
 - configure the bootloader to enable fips

Upon successful completion of these steps, the customer then gets a message stating to reboot
the machine to complete the fips enablement process.

Without the script, customers must perform the steps manually.

[FIX]

[TEST]
A test package is available in the following PPA: and it was tested by me on S390, PPC64EL and AMD64 architectures.

-- Test results before the patch --
-- Test results after the patch --

[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
The patch adds a new features to ubuntu-advantage-tool in Xenial to enable fips. No regression risks.
