We removed support for CentOS 5 in commit 369c712 of PR git-lfs#4080 and for CentOS 6 in commit d69e28d in PR git-lfs#4328; we also removed support for Debian 8 in commit ff36182 of that same PR git-lfs#4328, and for Debian 9 in commit e642e53 of PR git-lfs#5169. We can therefore also remove these distribution names from the set of patterns we match our package filenames against in our upload script for Packagecloud when it prints Markdown output (although this feature of the script may no longer be useful).
We add comments noting the EOL dates for a number of distributions to our Packagecloud upload script, and also remove a duplicate entry for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12.5 which was added in commit 9ef46f8 of PR git-lfs#5169.
Ubuntu Impish Indri reached its EOL in July 2022, so we remove it from the list of Debian 11 distributions for which we publish packages to Packagecloud, and we add Ubuntu Kinetic Kudu to the Debian 11 list as it was released in October 2022. Fedora 34 reached its EOL in July 2022 and Fedora 35 reached its EOL in December 2022, so we remove them from the list of CentOS 8 distributions, and we add Fedora 37 to the Rocky 9 list as it was released in November 2022. We add Linux Mint Vera to the list of Debian 11 distributions as it was released in December 2022. We remove OpenSUSE 15.3 from the list of CentOS 7 distributions as it reached its EOL in December 2022. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4 reached its general EOL in June 2020, so we remove it now, and SLES 15 SP3 reached its general EOL in December 2022, so we also remove it now. Note that we have been somewhat inconsistent in our handling of SLES 12 and 15 Service Packs, as we have only removed SLES 12 Service Packs once they reached their LTSS (Long Term Service Pack Support) EOL, while we have removed SLES 15 SPs when they reached their general EOLs. Thus we removed SLES 12 SP3 in commit 9ef46f8 of PR git-lfs#5169 when that Service Pack reached its LTSS EOL, but we removed SLES 15 SP2 in commit e2465f8 PR git-lfs#5010 when that Service Pack reached its general EOL but not its LTSS EOL, which is still in the future (December 2024), as is the LTSS EOL for SLES 15 SP1 (January 2024). To be more consistent, we assume SLES users have upgraded to the latest Service Pack within the default six-month period after its release, and we can drop support for older SPs at that point. This is effectively how we have already treated the earlier SPs for SLES 15, so applying that guideline to SLES 12 SP4 as well should be reasonable.

Fixes #5275.
