Rewrite the development base check to use distro-support
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement to replace hard-coded development base checks with distro-support for runtime validation. Triaged by maintainer but inactive for ~12 months; hard-coded DEVEL_BASE_INFOS still present in models/project.py.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue is triaged (labeled 'Status: Triaged') and the maintainer acknowledged it with a comment quoting tigarmo's design rationale about the build-base: devel safeguard. The hard-coded DEVEL_BASE_INFOS in models/project.py (lines 57-62) is still present in the codebase, so the issue remains valid and not outdated. Inactivity for ~12 months is notable but the issue has not become irrelevant.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
Currently the development base uses hard-coded info about which bases are under development. Since we're including the distro-support library which has this info anyway, we should use it to check.
### Why it needs to get done
This should be something that's runtime-checkable rather than requiring a new release.
