Added support for testing release and bullseye release.

ttttabcd requested to merge ttttabcd/live-build:master into master

The submission originated from the error I encountered when I wanted to generate a live cd for the testing release.

I previously sent an email to the mailing group to explain this bug.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2020/07/msg00017.html

I spent a little time on the weekend finding the cause of this error and fixing this bug.

The following is the original content of the email:

live-build support for "testing" releases has serious bugs

E: The repository 'https://deb.debian.org/debian-security testing/updates Release' does not have a Release file.

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Unable to download the Release file, this is an inevitable result, because the correct path should be

http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/dists/testing-security/Release

It should be "testing-security" instead of "testing".

Other releases do not have this problem, only testing-security and bullseye-security have "-security" suffix.

I checked the code and found that live-build does not seem to support testing release and bullseye release. I added this feature.
