Debian and Ubuntu guide: drop some distributions

Debian Trixie is nowhere near the release
and currently Erlang fails to build on it
because they have bumped autoconf to 2.72.

Buster is nearly completely dead. So are
non-LTS Ubuntu distributions.

Finally, Launchpad really isn't meant to support
Debian, so let's stop recommending using Bionic
packages because they do not even provide Erlang 26,
which is required by RabbitMQ 4.0.x and 3.13.x.
