Title:
  Jammy's /etc/os-release missing LTS string in VERSION

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in base-files source package in Jammy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Description]

  In Jammy (base-files 12ubuntu4) we have:

  $ grep VERSION= /etc/os-release 
  VERSION="22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)"

  but expected is:

  VERSION="22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"

  Compare with Focal:

  $ grep VERSION= /etc/os-release 
  VERSION="20.04.4 LTS (Focal Fossa)"

  [Impact]

  Having VERSION without LTS is inconsistent with the previous LTS
  releases and is wrong, as the official name of the release is "22.04
  LTS". This can confuse users.

  Any script relying on VERSION to detect if the Ubuntu version it is
  running on in an LTS won't be work as expected.

  [Test Plan]

  1. grep VERSION= /etc/os-release 
  2. check that it is: VERSION="22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"

  [Where problems could occur]

  Software already packaged in Jammy may already have adapted to the
  fact that VERSION doesn't have the LTS string in it.
