Old versions didn't pass the Omaha XML response to the update-engine postinst action, thus triggering the fallback download which doesn't work for clients on a restricted network. Backport the XML passing to make it possible to use this LTS version as jump version because it doesn't require OEM payloads.

How to use
Test on Jenkins, and call out in the Stable release notes that this jump version is required to be used for clients on a restricted network - unless we add workarounds to the postinst action to find the xml from the service logs.
