Instead of endlessly creating new Debian distros for Riot Desktop each time one appears from Debian and Ubuntu, let's create a single default distro and suggest everyone should use that going forward. This has the nice side effect of also helping smaller distros where we've never managed to add their distro names. We'll need to keep all the existing ones around for a while / indefinitely so existing users continue receiving updates.

Would this fix #11929 and #13194?

True - riot still does not have a release for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal fossa) and it makes sense to use a default distribution since packages are basically same - there is no difference in packages

Add a default Linux distribution

This adds a default Linux distribution which we'll suggest everyone uses going
forward to simplify packaging since the bytes are all the same anyway.

The default distro has been added. It should appear tomorrow with next nightly build. https://github.com/matrix-org/riot-im/pull/107 tracks updating the desktop page, including mentioning this new distro.

The default distro is now live, though for the moment it contains only riot-nightly. Riot 1.6 will also appear when released.

If I understand it, then the name has been changed to element. So what are the new instructions.
