[Feature Request] Support deb822 apt format #259

@deosrc

Description

@deosrc

Upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 has converted all of my apt repository source files to the deb822 format. This results in this role showing a change to create the source file again in the older format, and there would then be 2 source files for the same repository. I have not checked with this role, but for another apt repository, this caused apt to break due to conflicting files.

I believe apt can (and has for a while) support both formats. I'm not sure if there is a good way to check which is the preferred format automatically, as I'm not sure if it's an apt or OS decision. Perhaps just a variable for now which defaults to the older format for compatibility?
