Minor tweak needed to 50unattended-upgrades

Q4OS comes with unattended upgrades installed and 50unattended-upgrades configured.

It includes:-
        // Archive or Suite based matching:
        // Note that this will silently match a different release after
        // migration to the specified archive (e.g. testing becomes the
        // new stable).
//      "o=Debian,a=stable";
//      "o=Debian,a=stable-updates";
//      "o=Debian,a=proposed-updates";
//      "o=Debian Backports,a=${distro_codename}-backports,l=Debian Backports";
// ---here_to_add_custom_entries---
"o=q4os.org";
"o=Debian Backports,a=${distro_codename}-backports";
"o=Debian,n=${distro_codename}";
};

Unfortunately this misses out stable-updates which is needed for tzdata (and possibly others):-
After UA runs you still have one package that is not seen by UA but is listed in --upgradable:-

robin@trinity:~/Desktop$ sudo apt list --upgradable
tzdata/stable-updates 2021a-1+deb11u3 all [upgradable from: 2021a-1+deb11u2]
N: There is 1 additional version. Please use the '-a' switch to see it

Obviously easily fixed by un-commenting  //  "o=Debian,a=stable-updates";
but thought I'd mention it - not sure if UA is what is used by the Q4OS update tool but I guess it may be....

We can confirm the issue. It will be fixed in the next Q4OS release.
