Description of the change

Use uaclient library instead of calling ua tool directly. This simplifies parsing errors. The API is blocking however, so we hold up the UI.

Hi there - just wanted to let you know that this change might have caused a regression in update-manager as described at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/2008280 - if you're able to take a quick look that would be much appreciated - thanks!
