Bug description:
[ Impact ]
pro status shows livepatch as "disabled" when "canonical-livepatch"
returns an error. This can be misleading. It would be more helpful to
propagate the error message up to the user through pro status; that is
what the fix does.
[ Test Plan ]
In a multipass VM:
```
# attach to pro
sudo pro attach
# hack canonical-livepatch to return an error
cat > error.sh <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
echo "this is a simulated error" >&2
false
EOF
chmod +x error.sh
sudo rm /snap/bin/canonical-livepatch
sudo ln -s /home/ubuntu/error.sh /snap/bin/canonical-livepatch
# check livepatch's status according to pro
pro status
```
Without the fix, livepatch will show as "disabled".
With the fix, livepatch will show as "warning", and there will be a notice
that says "Error running canonical-livepatch status: this is a simulated error"
[ Where problems could occur ]
Since this changes how the status of livepatch is displayed, then a
mistake could lead to livepatch's status being incorrect
[Original Description]
livepatch shows as disabled when `pro status` is run as a normal user,
but enabled when run with sudo.
$ pro status
SERVICE ENTITLED STATUS DESCRIPTION
esm-apps yes enabled Expanded Security Maintenance for

This is probably a separate issue, but similarly (with a few numbers I have
replaced by <censored>:
