maas2 connector: fallback to out-of-standard-support xenial (16.04)

[thp-canonical]

The fallback distro for the maas2 connector is still Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (which according to ubuntu.com/16-04 is supported through ESM only, with standard support ending in April 2021):

testflinger/device-connectors/src/testflinger_device_connectors/devices/maas2/maas2.py

Lines 78 to 80 in 29247d8

	provision_data = self.job_data.get("provision_data")
	# Default to a safe LTS if no distro is specified
	distro = provision_data.get("distro", "xenial")

Note also that self.job_data.get("provision_data") might evaluate to None if no provision_data is provided at all, possibly this should be:

 provision_data = self.job_data.get("provision_data", {}) 

As for "xenial", it should probably be replaced by "jammy" or even "noble" at this point?
