[Bug 1070043] [NEW] DistUpgradeApport.py should check to see if --tags is available

[Kees Cook]

Public bug reported:

During a failed upgrade, I saw these errors, indicating that the apport
package hook hadn't been upgraded before attempting to call some new
features:

dpkg: error processing libasyncns0 (--configure):
 no package named `libasyncns0' is installed, cannot configure
Setting up libjson0:amd64 (0.10-1ubuntu1) ...
Usage: package_hook [options]
package_hook: error: no such option: --tags
