John Bieling eb3630a849 Bug 1999197 - Add zorin to DEBIAN_DISTROS. r=sylvestre

As a long-time Windows user, I was finally forced to switch to Linux,
since my perfectly fine build system no longer supports Windows 11. The
recommended go-to Linux distribution for former Windows users is Zorin.

The switch went really well, except that `./mach bootstrap` does not
yet support this distribution. I was advised to simply update my local
`bootstrap.py` file, and I can confirm that this works for me. As I
expect more former Windows users will end up using Zorin, it would be
nice to have it work out of the box.

mozboot - Bootstrap your system to build Mozilla projects
=========================================================

This package contains code used for bootstrapping a system to build
mozilla-central.

This code is not part of the build system per se. Instead, it is related
to everything up to invoking the actual build system.

If you have a copy of the source tree, you run:

    python bin/bootstrap.py

If you don't have a copy of the source tree, you can run:

    curl -L https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py -o bootstrap.py
    python bootstrap.py

The bootstrap script will download everything it needs from hg.mozilla.org
automatically!
