Targetting Bionic and Focal because we only need that in LTS versions
later than B. Targetting Impish too for future LTSes.
[Impact]
When producing a new version of some kernels, we need to check for
changes that might affect FIPS or other certs and justify why a commit
was kept or removed.
To simplify this process we can add an automated check that will abort
the kernel preparation and build when such changes exist without a
justification.
[Test Plan]
Check if the kernel preparation fails (cranky close) when one of a
security certification changes is added.
[Where problems could occur]
No kernels should be affected until we enable this check on each
one. Even when enabled, that only affects the kernel preparation and
not the resulting kernel.
