[Bug 2109817] [NEW] Add questing as a known Ubuntu distribution

Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

 * Lintian in stable releases of Ubuntu doesn't know about questing, and
it should.

[ Test Plan ]

 * Obtain or create a source.changes file targeted towards questing
 * Run 'lintian $package_source.changes'
 * With the current version of lintian, you'll receive the following error:
   E: $package changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file questing
 * You'll receive no such error with the new version of lintian.

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * This fairly trivial change is unlikely to introduce any regressions.
 * The only thing I can think of is if I mistakenly change something in known-dists,
   which might lead to lintian not recognising distributions it previously did.
