Bug description:
  [Impact]

  It looks like the latest SRU has introduced a bug in
  https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-
  upgrader/commit/?id=8c592abdf5047a6bd4da20dab1e444c6dcf8c842

  There is a typo in s/force_obosoletes/forced_obsoletes/ which causes upgrades from noble to oracular to
  fail:

    File "/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-l77uthwp/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py", line 1578, in doPostUpgrade
      if pkgname in self.foreign_pkgs and pkgname in self.force_obsoletes:
                                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  AttributeError: 'DistUpgradeController' object has no attribute 'force_obsoletes'. Did you mean: 'forced_obsoletes'?

  [Test Plan]

  This code path is only hit when some "foreign" packages are installed,
  e.g. from a PPA. The best way to reproduce this is to install a
  package from a PPA and then perform an upgrade. I created
  https://launchpad.net/~enr0n/+archive/ubuntu/lp2076913 for convenience
  in testing.

  $ apt-add-repository -y ppa:enr0n/https://launchpad.net/~enr0n/+archive/ubuntu/lp2076913
  $ apt install -y hello
  $ do-release-upgrade -d

  On an affected system, the AttributeError would be shown during the
  searching for obsoletes stage. One should confirm that some "foreign"
  packages were logged, otherwise the code path would not be taken:

  $ grep "Foreign" /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log

  [Where problems could occur]

  The patch changes the typo self.force_obsoletes to the correct
  self.forced_obsoletes. Another typo would lead to the same problem!
