[Bug 1778694] [NEW] In autoreport mode in whoopsie-preferences API, reports are not sent by whoopsie

[Didier Roche]

Public bug reported:

The goal for autoreporting via whoopsie is to have a silent mode where whoopsie automatically reports crashes. However, this one requires apport-noui to be installed, which we don't by default.
apport-noui is just a set of systemd unit starting whoopsie-upload-all (part of apport binary package).

As it doesn't make sense to have this is apport-noui separate pacakge
(no more phone factor), which is in universe and to restore the
functionality in an already released version, let's have apport, having
a conditional file on whoopsie installed and autoreport enabled,
shipping those units binary package shipping those units (renamed to
apport-autoreport.*) directly.

** Affects: whoopsie (Ubuntu)
