[Bug 1979238] [NEW] Software Updater phased updates ignores APT::Machine-ID

Environment:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Release:	22.04
$ apt-cache policy update-manager
update-manager:
  Installed: 1:22.04.9
  Candidate: 1:22.04.9
  Version table:
 *** 1:22.04.9 500
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Steps to reproduce:

1) On an Ubuntu 22.04 system with all non-phased updates installed,
check output of `apt list --upgradable` and `apt -o='Apt::Get::Always-
Include-Phased-Updates=true' list --upgradable`.  Make sure these
outputs differ: there should be some phased updates, and some should not
yet be phased in for this system.

2) create a file "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01aaa-synced-machineid" with the
following contents -

APT {
  Machine-ID "0aac969489d35d412431192762b0beff";
}

(That UUID was chosen by running `dbus-uuidgen` until it produced a UUID
that, when placed there, changed the output of `apt list --upgradable`.)

3) Verify with `apt list --upgradable` that the list of available phased
upates is now different.

4) Run Software Updater and look at the list of available updates it
offers.


Expected results:

At (4), Software Updater should offer the same set of updates that `apt
list --upgradable` shows at (3).


Actual results:

At (4), Software Updater offers the set of updates that were offered at
(1).  It seems to completely ignore APT::Machine-ID, despite that being
the official recommended way to synchronize phased updates across
multiple machines - https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/phased-updates-in-
