[Bug 1840946] [NEW] [FFe] include cloud-id in user-agent string

[Andreas Hasenack]

Public bug reported:

I'm preemptively filing this bug in case this isn't uploaded before the
feature freeze.

We would like to include a cloud_id/$name parameter to the user-agent
string that is sent to https://motd.ubuntu.com. This will allow the
server part of motd.ubuntu.com to serve cloud-specific content if one is
available.

There is an MP for this already at
https://code.launchpad.net/~ahasenack/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+git
/base-files/+merge/371370

That MP is also fixing a bug where curl would not return a failure if
the server status is not 200.
