Bug description:
  Test Case
  ---------
  1) edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades so that Update-Package-Lists is 1 and Unattended-Upgrade is 1
  2) sudo apt-get update
  3) sudo /usr/bin/unattended-upgrades (to update the system)
  4) sudo /usr/bin/unattended-upgrades (a second time for some reason)
  5) sudo rm /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log
  6) sudo /usr/bin/unattended-upgrades

  Observe the following crash:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1468, in <module>
      main(options)
    File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1406, in main
      log_content = get_dpkg_log_content(logfile_dpkg, install_start_time)
    File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1075, in get_dpkg_log_content
      with io.open(logfile_dpkg, encoding='utf-8') as fp:
  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log'

  With the version of the package from -proposed you won't receive the
  crash in step 6 and /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-
  dpkg.log will exist.

  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  This patch just ends up creating a file if it does not exist. Potential regressions would be a result of the patch being typo'ed e.g. typo'ing os.path.exits instead of os.path.exists and the code failing when a logfile does exist. So read the patch carefully!
