[Bug 2009949] Re: Bionic end-of-LTS date is now May 31st

[Renan Rodrigo]

** Description changed:

- The Bionic Beaver (LTS) "eol" and "eol-server" dates now changed to May 31st.
- This will also bump "eol-esm" to May 31st, 2028.
- This should be reflected in the CSV.
+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver had its eol-related ("eol", "eol-server",
+ "eol-esm") dates bumped to May 31st. This change needs to hit Bionic
+ systems, so the software running on those systems may interpret it
+ correctly and behave accordingly.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ On a bionic system:
+ - run `distro-info --date 2023-05-31 --supported`, and check bionic is not listed in the output.
+ - install a version of distro-info-data which has the updated dates
+ - run `distro-info --date 2023-05-31 --supported`, and check bionic is listed in the output.
+ - run `distro-info --date 2023-06-01 --supported`, and check bionic is not listed in the output.
+ 
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ Wrong dates in the CSV lead to all software depending on it crashing (if the format is wrong, for instance) or behaving in a different way than intended.
+ A close review of the date and format (as this is a simple change) can make this change safe enough.
+ why
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
+ 
+ On devel, the "eol-esm" is the only date that needs adjustment; all eol
+ fields need adjustment on bionic-devel.
