[Bug 2104280] [NEW] [FFe] Pass -SMK to less

[Julian Andres Klode]

Public bug reported:

APT in plucky uses a pager, so far we pass LESS=FRX, but this is not
very intuitive, so I'd like to pass SMK as well:

* S disables the bell
* M changes the prompt from ":" to "lines 1-2"
* K makes the pager exit on ctrl+c which makes it more discoverable how to exit

These flags are aligned with systemd; the former set was derived from
git

This will be bundled with some more bugfixes in apt 2.9.35.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
