[Bug 1595177] [NEW] [SRU template] Update apt/xenial to 1.2.14

[Julian Andres Klode]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]
We intend to upload APT 1.2.14 to xenial under the new "micro upstream release" policy. 

Apart from fixing bug 1573547, it also updates translations fixes the
following other bugs:

[[1.2.13]]

Segmentation fault fixes:
* fail instead of segfault on unreadable config files (Closes: 824503)

Fixes for 3rd party programs using libapt and C++ locale API:
* prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIs (Closes: #825396)

Fix for hurd (not really affecting us here, but upstream):
* apt-key: change to / before find to satisfy its CWD needs.
  Thanks to Samuel Thibault for 'finding' the culprit! (Closes: 826043)

Leak fixes:
* do not hang on piped input in PipedFileFdPrivate
* don't leak an FD in lz4 (de)compression
* don't leak FD in AutoProxyDetect command return parsing

[[1.2.14]]
Regression fix from 1.2.13:
  * do not error if auto-detect-proxy cmd has no output (Closes: 827713)
Huge apt-ftparchive performance regression fix from 1.1:
  * Reinstate caching of file hashes in apt-ftparchive (Closes: #806924)
Tiny bug fixes, about 2 lines each:
  * source: if download is skipped, don't try to unpack
  * ensure filesize of deb is included in the hashes list

[Test case]
The releases follow new upstream micro release rule and thus are assumed to be tested by our integration test suite. There are two exceptions which cannot be tested:

* prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIs
* apt-key: change to / before find to satisfy its CWD needs

The first has no affected code in the archive (but maybe 3rd party
code), the second only affects hurd.

[Regression Potential]
Very low. The release has been tested by a thorough integration test suite on Travis CI, Debian autopkgtests, and has been in Debian unstable since 2016-06-22.
