Bug Description

[Impact]

 * Any new report after an installation in a Virtualbox machine won't show up CPU informations.
 * Note that we don't fix Cosmic: it's almost EOL and ubuntu-report is used on first user login. Now, we either proposed bionic or disco to our users. The issue isn't that critical either as the CPU field is just ignored when missing.

[Test Case]

 * Make a new installation in virtualbox
 * Run "ubuntu-report show".
-> you won't have any "CPU" field in the output
 * Install the new version from proposed
 * Run "ubuntu-report show"
-> note the CPU field is now present.

[Regression Potential]

 * The regexp to match lspcu information lines has been relaxed. The testsuite has been enhanced and existing cases keeps working.

------------

On a virtualbox guest ubuntu-report doesn't report CPU information.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-report - 1.5.0

---------------
ubuntu-report (1.5.0) eoan; urgency=medium

  * Fix CPU record not present in virtualbox (LP: #1819129)
    Virtualbox is having a special lspcu syntax without spaces between
    fields and values. Fix the regexp and tests to cover that use-case.
  * Fix go ineffassign warning
  * Fix golint false positive
  * Fix invalid tests comparison which was passing by chance. Ensure we
    can rerun commands in multiple runs tests.
  * Fix documentation vet error
  * Refresh go modules files with go 1.12. Prune uneeded indirect dep list
    now that more modules ships with go.mod.
  * Various typos fix

On bionic the CPU info is included on a 18.04.2 iso booted in virtualbox (1.3.0~18.04, so before that SRU)

Well, the update keeps working and has more flexible regexp which should allow things to keep working even if the lscpu behaviour change, so marking confirmed on that basis
