[Bug 2077344] [NEW] upgrades should change snap-store and firmware-updater tracking

[Nick Rosbrook]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]

We would like 24.04 LTS systems and newer to have snap-store track
2/stable, and firmware-updater track 1/stable.

ubuntu-release-upgrader has a "deb2snap" mechanism capable of doing
this.

[Test Plan]

On Jammy, see that snap-store and firmware-updater are not tracking
2/stable and 1/stable, respectively:

$ snap info snap-store | grep "^tracking:"
$ snap info firmware-updater | grep "^tracking:"

Perform an upgrade from Jammy to Noble:

$ do-release-upgrade -d

After the upgrade, confirm that snap-store and firmware-updater are
tracking the new channels:

$ snap info snap-store | grep "^tracking:"
$ snap info firmware-updater | grep "^tracking:"

[Where problems could occur]

The patch is just editing deb2snap.json entries. Typos would lead to a
failure in changing the trackings. We should also be certain that these
are the correct trackings for these snaps.
