It's a little weird that you're folding two patches into a single patch,
but looks ok. Please do update the bug description!

  [SRU] Ensure supported codenames are accurate

Bug description:
  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  releases that are outdated.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
  and sources.list 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. "noble") showing as red, it should show as
  blue. I would also suggest editing sources.list, to ensure e.g. Eoan
  shows as EOL.
