[Bug 1909956] [NEW] Include curl in ubuntu-minimal

[James Hebden]

Public bug reported:

Curl has become a widely-used go-to tool for bootstrapping software on
new installs of Ubuntu, and currently it is not included in the minimal
install, which is used widely in cloud and container environments.

It would be great if curl could be included in ubuntu-minimal, as it is
commonly expected to be on any Ubuntu system when following instructions
to bootstrap various software projects on Ubuntu.

Even the curl provided by busybox would be a good step to getting less
experienced users off the ground in a cloud-computing context.

** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
