Title:
  add a motd script for news

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

Bug description:
  Add a new update-motd script for printing news and/or important
  notices.

  == SRU ==

  [IMPACT]
  We should add important security messages or other news to the MOTD.

  [TEST CASE]
  Login to the system and ensure that the "news" section of the motd is displayed.  Note that you might need to force trigger an update by running 'sudo update-motd'.

  [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
  No reasonable regression potential.  The script simply prints 2 lines of text to the MOTD.
