The SUPPORT_END variable in os-release was added in systemd 252. Quoting the manpage:

The date at which support for this version of the OS ends. (What
exactly "lack of support" means varies between vendors, but generally
users should assume that updates, including security fixes, will not be
provided.) The value is a date in the ISO 8601 format "YYYY-MM-DD", and
specifies the first day on which support is not provided.

Note that I didn't add tests, but we probably should. This was a quick hacking up of support while on a train.

Did a quick sanity check on Amazon Linux 2 and Debian 11, looks fine. If you have time to add tests later, that's great, but would like to get this in for the next release.
