[Bug 2067482] [NEW] needrestart terminates itself on updates

[Simon Chopin]

Public bug reported:

This is an expansion on bug 2059337. There's likely a fair number of
custom services out there that are similar in nature to cloud-init,
unattended-upgrade and the likes. Rather than forcing every user to
track down and debug this issue, needrestart should instead have some
sort of "self-preservation instinct" and exclude itself from the default
restart list.

While this issue isn't particularly new, it has become much more urgent
in Noble onwards as we've modified it to default to silently restarting
services.

** Affects: needrestart (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
