The https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/madison.cgi
<https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/madison.cgi> endpoint which
rmadison -u ubuntu depends on is slated to be removed soon.

After a few conversations in Ubuntu we decided to update devscripts
directly instead of adding a madison.cgi compatible endpoint in
Launchpad itself (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/2153451), which requires more
extensive changes in the package but should be more sustainable for long
term development.

This will also have a few more desirable effects like effectively
supporting all Launchpad PPAs (and other archive) since they all use the
same APIs and improving the performance of rmadison -u ubuntu.

I've proposed a patch for this bug on salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts/-/merge_requests/658.

rmadison: Use Launchpad API for Ubuntu

The https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/madison.cgi endpoint is slated
to be removed soon. This commit replaces the madison.cgi call for
Ubuntu with an implementation using Launchpad API calls that tries
to mimick the rmadison implementation as far as possible.

This also implicitly enables using rmadison with Launchpad PPAs
using -u https://api.launchpad.net/devel/<user>/+archive/ubuntu/<ppaname>
as these are using the same underlying APIs.

LP: #2162372, Closes: #1143124
