Use bookworm as new default release + update release list

There's no point in suggesting EOL releases in the dialog(1) dialog any
longer, so let's drop lenny, squeeze, wheezy, jessie + stretch there.
While at it switch from X.Y to X version schema as we always install
the latest Debian (point) release and not the displayed X.0 one.

Use bookworm as the new default release so we get grml-debootstrap
accordingly into the bookworm freeze (see
https://release.debian.org/testing/freeze_policy.html for details).

Update the docs regarding support releases.

 grml-debootstrap can handle the releases but you really should not use them
 anymore unless you really know what you are doing.
 Choose the current Debian stable version instead.
 See https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases for the list of supported releases.

 Older releases might also fail to install when running on top of recent kernel versions,
 throwing segfaults during debootstrap. This can be identified by the following messages inside kernel log (check with 'dmesg'):
