Bug Description

[Impact]

  * Error messages emitted to software-properties-gtk console "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json'" due to incorrect expectation that status.json file is written when non-root runs `ua status`
  * This logic results in multiple `ua status` calls which each result in a network-egress to https://contracts.canonical.com on unattached machines which could result in delays in rendering the GTK dialogs while awaiting a response.

[Test Case]
1. Install latest version of software-properties-gtk from -proposed
cat > setup_proposed.sh <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
mirror=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
echo deb \$mirror \$(lsb_release -sc)-proposed main | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list
apt-get update -q
apt-get install -qy software-properties-gtk software-properties-common python3-software-properties
EOF

IP=`uvt-kvm ip ${DESKTOP_VM}`
scp setup_proposed.sh ubuntu@$IP:.
ssh ubuntu@$IP -- sudo bash ./setup_proposed.sh

2. run software-properties-gtk on the commandline
ssh ubuntu@$IP -- software-properties-gtk

# Validate no error messages on launch
3. Click Updates tab and validate
Basic Security Maintenance "Extend..."
Active until 04/23/2025

(Extend.. is a link that will spawn a browser to ubuntu.com/security/esm)

4. Click Cancel button

5. Attach to a UA contract and re-run Software and updates UX
ssh ubuntu@$IP -- sudo ua attach $MY_TOKEN
ssh ubuntu@$IP -- software-properties-gtk
# validate no error messages

6. Click Updates tab and validate:
Extended Security Maintenance
Active until 12/31/1999

# Note no "Extend..." text or link

[Where problems could occur]
 * invalid parsing of UA contract information or missing /var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json will print messages to the console in the event of errors or warnings.
 * failures and tracebacks in this code will result in invalid representation of system defaults in the Updates tab about whether or not a machine is attached to a contract or whether the contract is expired.
 * Other than user-facing documentation about the state of the UA subscription this does not prevent the dialogs from functioning.
 * limited network environments could have a delay of UX rendering due to `ua status` calls timing out on attempts to reach contracts.canonical.com

[Original Description]

Release: bionic/focal
Version: 0.96.24.32 (bionic)

Issue:
Software & Updates GTK UI doesn't report availability of Ubuntu Advantage ESM Infra or ESM Apps services on unattached machines

Steps to repropduce:

Launch software-properties-gtk from the commandline.
See unexpected errors on the terminal

 No ua status file written:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json'

Navigation to the "Updates" tab
See only:
Basic Security Maintenance
04/26/2023

Expected results:
See no error messages on terminal
See a link to the right of Basic Security Maintenance on the "Updates" tab that points to ESM info
Basic Security Maintenance Extend...(links to ubuntu.com/security/esm)
