Title:
  [FFe] Add a indicator to show the status of Livepatch

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in update-notifier source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact
  The livepatch graphical interfaces are currently limited in bionic, there is no easy way to know the current status and the details of the changes applied. The new design improves the user experience and we want that to benefit the LTS users

  * Test case
  As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#livepatch there should a indicator in the top bar to show the status of Livepatch.

  * Regression potential
  The indicator is new code/a new UI so the regression potential is low.

  Note that the changes include some new strings. Those are translated in disco and 
  Launchpad shares translations between series so we should get those translations included in the next bionic langpacks export.
