This patch makes the UI display security updates with a 'U' instead of a 'u'.

The patch is the counterpart to this apt-dater-host commit ...

sourcepole/apt-dater-host@8ac83e0

... which make apt-dater-host report security updates with a flag 'U' instead of a 'u'.

Same as with 8ac83e0, this patch should be understood as a proof of concept that works.

What is missing from this patch is:

a bump of the protocol version
updates to the protocol documentation
updates to report generation
updates to the on screen help

I'd very much appreciate the inclusion of this /feature/. It does not need to be implemented the way I did it. In particular, maybe using a 'U' for signaling a security update could be debated and also the "OR" logic which is used for the signaling of the HOST_STATUS_PKGSECUPDATE flag.

I'd ask to please comment on this patch. (Merging it is of course also very fine ;-)

This implements the feature requested here: #24

…f a 'u'.
