[Bug 2077162] [NEW] [FFe/SRU] add-apt-repository --refresh-keys

[Julian Andres Klode]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]
We want to provide an easy tool to allow users to refresh signing keys. This feature works for deb822 sources, classic sources are TBD.

[Test plan]

We have multiple test cases:

1. Add a weak PPA, ensure its key is refreshed.
2. Add a weak private PPA and ensure that it does not fail the process, then retry with --login
3. Add a second private PPA and ensure that we only see a single login request with --login

[Where problems could occur]
The new feature could not work in all cases.

The launchpad login caching could possibly cause some problems, there
may be bugs there, but our test plan checks for both non-login and login
cases.

** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu)
