[Bug 2073707] [NEW] Lack of Legacy Support information

[Diogo Sousa]

Public bug reported:

Determining if a release has reached the end of ESM is generally done
via the information in the distro-info-data package.

However, those dates are currently limited to eol-esm, representing the
end of the 10 year ESM coverage period, and do not include information
on Legacy Support.

The optional Legacy support add-on on top of Ubuntu Pro extends the
security maintenance and support for an additional 2 years, resulting in
12 years coverage overall. That information is already publicly present
in our Release Cycle page (https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle), with
dates set for all LTS releases after Trusty.

Current columns are version,codename,series,created,release,eol,eol-
server,eol-esm. An additional column (e.g., eol-legacy) should be added
to reflect this additional period of support.
