Issue body
- Fixes a bug where the `ensure_guest_compatible` check would prevent new devel releases from launching.
- Renames the test file to match the real file.
- Updates distro-info
I made a test branch that only had this commit but without support for 26.10. I tested this in rockcraft (https://github.com/canonical/rockcraft/pull/1273) to ensure `build-base: devel` would work. This gives us confidence that we won't break later when `devel` gets repointed to 27.04.
Fixes #979
