[Bug 1914445] [NEW] Buildd tarball images do not include package manifests

[Cody Shepherd]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]

 * There are currently no manifests being produced for buildd tarballs
in bionic and focal.

 * Manifests _are_ being produced for the buildd tarballs in Hirsute and
Xenial (the latter as part of recent longer-term work to produce
bootable buildd images in Xenial)

 * There is a "base.manifest" that is produced from the buildd
subproject, but it does not reflect the contents of any of the buildd
image artifacts produced.

[Test Case]

 * build the buildd subproject
 * verify that the lxd and rootfs manifests are produced
 * verify that the packages listed in the manifests reflect the respective contents of each image

[Where problems could occur]

 * The manifests should be created from the same chroot that the tarball
images are created from, in order to capture the correct package
contents

[Other Info]
 
 * Fixing this will only require cherry-picking two commits from ubuntu/master

** Affects: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
