Update osinfo-db to 0.20230518

[jarred wilson]

Impact
======
The purpose of osinfo-db is to provide a database of guest operating systems for use by virtualization provisioning tools using the libosinfo library. The two primary users are the GNOME Boxes and Virt Manager apps.

This SRU updates the database to the latest release.

For Lunar, it updates the download links for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to the latest point release. (Otherwise, the download feature silently does not work for those releases.) It also can now recognize Ubuntu 23.10 ISOs (although they are marked as prerelease so it does not show in the list of suggested downloads.)

For Kinetic, this also marks Ubuntu 22.10 as released, allowing it to show in the list of suggested downloads in GNOME Boxes. It enables the Express Install feature in GNOME Boxes for Ubuntu Desktop 22.10 and for Ubuntu Desktop (Legacy) 23.04. It also introduces support for Ubuntu 23.04.

For Jammy, this also introduces support for Ubuntu 22.10.

Data for many non-Ubuntu Linux distros have also been updated.

This update also allows us to drop all existing patches since they have all been included in the new release.

Test Case 0
===========
osinfo-db has an extensive test suite to validate the data files. If the test suite fails, it will fail the build. These tests are also run as autopkgtests.

Ensure the build succeeds and the autopkgtest passes

Test Case 1
===========
1. Install the update
2. Open a terminal and run
sudo apt install gnome-boxes
3. Run gnome-boxes
4. Click + then press "Download an operating system" (The UI varies depending on the version of gnome-boxes).
5. Select Ubuntu 22.10 x86_64 (Live)
6. %he ISO will download to your Downloads folder
7. When it completes, the wizard will prompt you to create a Ubuntu 22.10.
Enable the Express Install option.
Complete the wizard (it likely asks for a username and password).
8. Ubuntu 22.10 should successfully install in the virtual machine without user interaction needed. After the install, the virtual machine will reboot. Click the Virtual Machine and log into the Ubuntu 22.10 virtual machine.
9. Open a terminal and run this command: cat /etc/os-release

10. Afterwards, you can power off the virtual machine.

Test Case 2
===========
From a terminal, run
osinfo-query os vendor="Canonical Ltd"

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.10, Ubuntu 23.04, and Ubuntu 23.10 should be included in the list.

Where problems could occur
==========================

It is always possible to use ISOs not recognized by osinfo-db with either GNOME Boxes or Virt Manager. osinfo-db provides useful metadata like recommended RAM, recommended hard disk size, and what virtualized hardware interfaces are supported.

This update significantly improves the ability of those apps to recognize distros released in 2022 and early 2023 while also making improvements to older distros.

The most likely possible problem is that some download links may no longer work. However, we know that the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS download link was broken before this update so the download links will be better with this update.
