cloud-init: preliminary work to enable integration testing on Oracle cloud.

Reviewed, merged and uploaded change to update-notifier for all the stable releases that updates ESM service name and description.
- That is: uploaded update-notifier 3.168.16 (xenial), 3.192.1.13 (bionic), 3.192.30.12 (focal), 3.192.54.1 (jammy)
- Issue: the changes in update-notifier 3.192.30.12 (focal) weren’t pushed to the packaging repository (this is a native package with per-release branches). Reconciled w.r.t the archive by cherry-picking from git-ubuntu import.
- Issue: turns out there were more inconsistencies between the source package in the archive for Bionic and Focal and the upstream repository (= packaging repository, as the package is native). Thanks @lamoura and @ahasenack for sorting that out and reuploading.
