scout: force install the latest apt version

Ludovico de Nittis requested to merge wip/denittis/test_apt into master

In our repositories we have a backported apt from Debian 8. However, that version will be kept back by apt-get because the dependencies changed. Additionally, we don't currently provide the libapt-pkg4.12-dbgsym (due to https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/infrastructure/tasks/-/issues/13), and that will break the dist-upgrade with: " libapt-pkg4.12 : Breaks: apt (< 0.9.4~) but 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.29+srt1 is to be installed"

For this reason we explicitly install apt and libapt-pkg4.12 to grab the latest available versions from the beginning.
