Title:
  Update choose-mirror to default to groovy

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Groovy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  For every release, we always bumped choose-mirror's defaults to the current series. Last time this was done for focal. So right now the groovy installer uses 'focal' as the defaults.
  We no longer ship choose-mirror in the archive but instead vendorize it inside ubiquity.
  It's hard for me to assess what's the impact of this, but as it was done with every release (and was missed this time by mistake), we should make sure it's done properly.

  [Test Case]

  Build the ubiquity package and make sure that the right choose-mirror
  version is used during build.

  There is no more specific test case we could run. A test installation
  using the new ubiquity could be performed to make sure everything is
  done properly (and us using the right mirrors etc.).

  [What could go wrong]

  There is not much regression potential with this change, as this
  upload only modifies one vendored package - choose-mirror. The change
  only affects 2 files (header used during build and some debconf
  templates) - and those can't really affect many components. Running a
  successful install should provide enough regression coverage.

  [Original Description]

  We missed this step in the release process, let's backport a fix for
  it now.
