[Bug 1871825] Re: [FFe] Update to netplan.io 0.99

** Description changed:

  [Freeze Exception Rationale]
  
  We would like to request a Feature Freeze exception for the new netplan
  0.99 as this release will be carrying important roadmap features
  targeted for 20.04. Everything got drastically delayed due to not having
  a full-time netplan maintainer for most part of the cycle, but the
  features we want to deliver are still considered important. We are well
  aware of how late it is in the cycle, and in normal circumstances we
  would not request such an exception, but releasing the new netplan
  version will also unblock some of the other teams. Notably the
  generation of libnetplan will unblock other feature requests in packages
  like NetworkManager for uc20.
- 
- Please note that this is a preemptive FFe as 0.99 is not yet ready to be
- uploaded (as we are waiting for final schema approvals and reviews).
  
  The most notable changes (besides usual bug-fixes) incoming in 0.99:
   * Adding `phase2` keyword to `auth` section
   * Allowing `critical` to be used without `dhcp4`/`dhcp6` enabled
   * Support for GSM modems in the NetworkManager backend (with the `modems` keyword)
   * Adding `emit-lldp` option for networkd backend
   * Split out the netplan parser into a separate libnetplan library
   * Adding `ipv6-address-generation` field for NM backend
   * Adding WiFi flags for `bssid`/`band`/`channel`
   * Adding support for SR-IOV network devices
  
  List of commits already merged and ready for 0.99:
  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/65cc6gJD78/
  
  All the changes are completely backward-compatible and users should not
  notice any behavior changes if not using any of the new features.
  
  So far we have done some test-builds and test-installations locally of
  the packages without any trouble, running autopkgtests on those as well.
  When preparing 0.99 we will of course first make sure the package still
  builds correctly and autopkgtests look good. We will also do upgrade
  testing and provide the results here.
  
  It is worth mentioning that netplan comes with extensive unit testing
  and autopkgtest test suite. Even though regressions are impossible, it
  the test suites make them less likely.
  
  Thank you!
