[Bug 2064687] [NEW] Add Oracular as a known Ubuntu distribution

[Simon Quigley]

Public bug reported:

In several stable releases of Ubuntu, Vim needs accurate information
about Ubuntu codenames. This information should be aligned with what is
in distro-info-data.

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
Oracular archive, and open the changelog with Vim. Instead of the
changelog release (e.g. "oracular") showing as red, it should show as
blue. I would also suggest editing sources.list, to ensure e.g. Kinetic
shows as EOL.
