[Bug 1996087] [NEW] Ensure supported codenames are accurate

[Simon Quigley]

Public bug reported:

In several stable releases of Ubuntu, Vim has information regarding
releases that are outdated. It would be optimal for Vim to grab this
data from distro-info-data (or similar), but unfortunately that is not
the case. Therefore, the list needs to be updated.

There is a minimal regression potential here; Vim simply reads a
statically-set Perl array to determine if the release in the changelog
is supported or not. Any regression would present itself in external
tooling that detects text highlighting, which is not a case I think we
support in Ubuntu.

A simple way to test this update is to download a package from the Lunar
archive, and open the changelog with Vim. Instead of the changelog
release (e.g. "lunar") showing as red, it should show as blue.
