[Bug 1592386] Re: [SRU] add links for obtaining management and support, fix documentation link in 10-help-text

I tested this on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS. I enabled proposed and
installed base-files and openssh-server.

The first link changes from
* Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com/ to
* Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com (without the trailing slash)

and the two new links show up.
The strings weren't translated when I tried French, but the old message wasn't either.
The message looks fine.

Title:
  [SRU] add links for obtaining management and support, fix
  documentation link in 10-help-text

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in base-files source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Add links for obtaining management and support in 10-help-text, and
  fix the documentation link.  Should look very simple, concise, and
  clean, like this:

   * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com
   * Management:     https://landscape.canonical.com
   * Support:        https://ubuntu.com/advantage

  == SRU ==

  [Impact]

  This impacts command line users of Ubuntu server (and desktop)
  systems.  When logging into an Ubuntu console (tty, ssh), pam displays
  a dynamically generated MOTD (message of the day).  The current
  message of the day on Ubuntu servers has a broken link for
  documentation.  We need to fix that.  We should also add simple,
  clean, friendly links on how to obtain support and remotely manage the
  system.

  [Test Case]

  Upgrade the base-files package, and then regenerate the MOTD using
  'sudo update-motd'.  The new motd should be printed to screen.

  [Regression Potential]

  None.  This change affects one simple shell script in /etc/update-
  motd.d/10-help-text
