Microsoft publishes a single 'stable main main' suite at packages.microsoft.com/repos/code that serves every Debian and Ubuntu release we target — the apt metadata isn't release-specific, just architecture-specific. Adding jammy to the RELEASE allow-list starts mirroring the same code package (armhf/arm64/amd64) into apt.armbian.com's jammy-desktop component that the other five releases already get. Keeps the Armbian apt repo consistent across releases: a jammy desktop install via armbian-config module_desktops (full tier) was previously failing with 'E: Unable to locate package code' because the mirror hadn't ingested code for jammy. With this change the next 'Infrastructure: APT repositories update' run picks up the new config and the full-tier install resolves cleanly on jammy.

Summary
Add `jammy` to the RELEASE allow-list in `external/code.conf` so the `code` (Microsoft VSCode) package gets mirrored into apt.armbian.com's `jammy-desktop` component alongside the other five releases it already covers.
Background
`packages.microsoft.com/repos/code` publishes a single `stable main main` suite that serves every Debian + Ubuntu release — the apt metadata isn't release-scoped, just arch-scoped (armhf / arm64 / amd64). So from the PPA side there's nothing jammy-specific to configure; the suite + arches stay identical.
On the armbian-config side, the full-tier desktop install on jammy was previously failing with `E: Unable to locate package code` because our mirror hadn't ingested it for that release. With this change the next `Infrastructure: APT repositories update` run ingests code for jammy and the full-tier install resolves cleanly.
