[Bug 2054395] Re: [sru] sos upstream 4.7.0

[Arif Ali]

The new patch that was added at the end was about the msr module loading
and was also present in the CI testing we found upstream and hence added
it on.

In the original patch that is in noble it was == 24.04 and now it's
>=24.04 this will ensure it covers any series that is noble and above, I
hope that makes sense.

The second patch depends on the change of the first patch based on the
git history. In essence the work was combined upstream to fix the issue
when I added oracular to the testing. These patches have been directly
imported from upstream and no extra modification is done. If you prefer
that I remove the CI bits, I can do so.

When and if we ship 4.7.3 or 4.8.0 later in the year, these would be
already included, including the CI bits

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  * A new sosreport version is available upstream, and following the
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates policy for stable release
  exception we will now SRU the sosreport 4.7.0 upstream release.

  * This release introduces a couple of new plugins as well as bugfixes
  done between the previous Ubuntu 4.5.6 sosreport version and the new
  4.7.0.

  
  [ Test Plan ]

   * The detailed test plan can be found on
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates and should be tested by a
  couple of users.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  * Some plugins might stop working, and this will show when running
  sosreport.

  * Uploading to S3 needs the python3-boto3 dependency installed.

  * If there is an issue with a plugin that is causing instability to
  the system, this can be disabled by running 'sosreport -n
  <plugin_name>'.

  * Currently running sos collect with Juju 3 is -not- working, even for
  the current  4.5.6 Ubuntu version, we are working upstream on a fix
  here: https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/3422 this is not part of
  the core functionality of sos, and one can still run sos report
  manually on the nodes.

  [ Other Info ]
   
  * Useful plugins that are now part of 4.7.0 and could do some testing:

  * runtime/lxd We have added an LXD runtime so that we can gather data directly from LXD, same with what one would do with k8s.
  * plugins/canonical_livepatch_onprem.py will gather data from livepatch-server
  * plugins/ceph.py add Reef release commands and gather microceph data
  * plugins/coredump.py will capture coredump info from coredumpctl
  * plugins/infinidat.py will gather data from servers that make use if the Infinidat storage solution
  * plugins/kubernetes.py will now gather container information from microk8s
  * plugins/mellanox_firmware.py will gather data from mellanox devices
  * plugins/openstack_masakari.py will gather data from openstack masakari
  * plugins/openstack_masakarimonitors.py will gather data from openstack masakari monitors
  * plugins/vectordev.py will gather the config from vectordev (cos-proxy)
