[Bug 1874091] Re: ubuntu-release-upgrader should use ubuntu-drivers and migrate people from nvidia-dkms to l-r-m

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

ubuntu-release-upgrader controls the upgrade, and calculates which
things to install/remove.

For us to be able to complete transition off dkms to prebuild modules,
we need to have a way to ask ubuntu-drivers how to do that.

I.e. `ubuntu-drivers list` needs to gain `--package-list` option like it
has for list-oem option, such that we can sniff what we should be
installing.

(Or like make release-upgrader import ubuntu-drivers python code)

but also `ubuntu-drivers list` in the --package-list should ideally
generate packages to remove. Cause i think we would want to mark
`nvidia-dkms-*` for removal when upgrader does removal of "obsolete
software" / un-needed packages.

once that is in place, we'd want to make ubuntu-release-upgrader use all
that, for upgrades to focal and later.
