Title:
  update-notifier: adopt renamed esm infra and apps pockets

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  do-release-upgrade only supports apt suite names confirming to the format:
  <release>-(security|upgrades|proposed)

  
  This begs that ESM apt repos are named something like:
  xenial-updates 
  bionic-security
  etc.

  instead of:
  bionic-infra-security/
  bionic-infra-updates/
  focal-infra-security/
  focal-infra-updates/

  
  Since update-notifier reports, via motd, the upgradable and security packages available in ESM-* repos we need to cope with this apt suite rename when it happens.

  This fix will only land in groovy and get SRU'd to Xenial, Bionic and
  Focal once the contract services can support a the standard
  <release>-(security|updates) suite names.
