do not run apt update or simulate apt dist-upgrade
This is causing all sorts of problems. The first of which is that we're hitting our poor mirrors every time the script is ran, which, in the Debian package configuration, is *every 15 minutes* (!!). The second is that this locks the cache and makes this script needlessly stumble upon a possible regression in APT from Debian bookworm and Ubuntu 22.06: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/2003851 That still has to be confirmed: it's possible that `apt update` can hang for a long time, but that shouldn't concern us if we delegate this work out of band. I also do not believe actually performing the `dist-upgrade` calculations is necessary to compute the pending upgrades at all. I've done work with python-apt for other projects and haven't found that to be required: the cache has the necessary information about pending upgrades. Closes: prometheus-community#179
