Maksim Malchuk b4733da80a Add the ability to override the system's default repositories
Ubuntu 24.04 is the first release where package sources for Ubuntu are
stored in a `.sources` file called
`/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources`, instead of the traditional
`sources.list`.

This means that we have lost the ability to override the system's
default repositories. Previously, we could use the
`apt_disable_sources_list` setting to disable default repositories and
provide our own using `apt_repositories`. However, this is no longer
possible.

Now, each element of `apt_repositories` contains a field called `name`,
which specifies the name of the repository file (without the `.sources`
suffix). The default value of this field is `kayobe` and it may be
omitted. The user can override the default by providing a different
name, such as `ubuntu`, and new repository data. This way, the default
file, `/etc/apt/source.list.d/ubuntu.sources`, will be overwritten by
the provided repository configuration.

Adds a ``name`` field to elements of ``apt_repositories``, which specifies
the name of the repository file (without the ``.sources`` suffix). The
default value of this field is ``kayobe`` and it may be omitted. The user
can override the default by providing a different name, such as ``ubuntu``,
and new repository data. This way, the default file,
``/etc/apt/source.list.d/ubuntu.sources``, will be overwritten by the
provided repository configuration.
