Bug Description

=== Begin SRU Template ===
[Impact]

Any Ubuntu Advantage apt-based service is enbled via a PPA. If those PPAs are not listed as valid mirrors in mirrors.cfg the PPAs get disabled across upgrade.

UA-client has a script which will enable those PPAs across upgrade path, but needs the apt cache lock released during runPostInstallScripts.

Validate Ubuntu Advantage apt access is retained across do-release-upgrade path so customers to not lose access to security updates after performing an upgrade.

[Test Case]

#!/bin/bash

#
# SRU Verification ubuntu-release-upgrader + ubuntu=advantage-tools
# Test procedure:
# - launch container Trusty, Xenial or Bionic
# - Attach container to UA subscription (which activates a number of commerical PPAs
# - download and run -proposed ubuntu-release-upgrader tool for upgrade release
# - Assert successful upgrade
# - Confirm valid mirrors not disabled
# - Confirm third party non-commercial PPA URLs still disabled
# - Confirm third party UA commercial URLs still disabled
# (due to expected feature gap)
# - Confirm UA status reports esm-infra still disabled (known feature gap)

[Regression Potential]
None as UA support is not yet officially introduced in Xenial or later.
This patch only allows anyone currently overriding PostUpgradeScripts in DistUpgrade.cfg to perform apt update|install operations, which were previously prohibited due to apt lock.
=== End SRU Template ===

==== Original Description ===

In order for custom PostInstallScript to add/remove apt packages and call apt update, DistUpgradecontroller needs to release the apt cache directory lock before that stage.

If the lock is still in place, DistUpgradeController.runPostUpgradeScripts hits errors such as:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
