Title:
unattended-upgrades: Fall back to adjusting more packages' candidates
when a package from an allowed origin can't be marked to
install/upgrade

Bug description:
[Impact]
* Without the introduced fallbacks u-u could not upgrade particular package
sets from -security. It could be observed in Cosmic with systemd security
updates failing to install in:
https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-disco/disco/amd64/u/unattended-upgrades/20190318_182031_fe4fe@/log.gz
[Test Case]
* The fix includes the extension of the build-time test cases to
cover package sets with which u-u fails with without the fallback:

[Regression Potential]
* When failing to mark a package to upgrade/install from the allowed origin
holding the highest version the first fallback resets all already adjusted
candidates to the highest available version irrespective to the origin of this
version being allowed or not. This itself is not a risky operation and sanity
checks later ensure that no package would be installed from not allowed origins
but it can trigger code paths in apt that were not tried before and may crash.
* In testing apt's resolver failed to find a solution for upgrading packages
with the first fallback raising an error, but the second fallback handles the
error and tries adjusting _all_ potentially upgradable/installable package at
the expense of using much more CPU time. This second fallback is not expected
to be reached often (it is not reached in autopkgtests either) and adjusting
all of those packages matches an earlier behavior of u-u, thus the slow-down
may not be considered a regression.
[Other Info]
* If the second fallback is found to be reached often a different fallback
can be introduced before the first one, to adjust all packages from the same
source package then try again:
