Bookworm has been out a while now. Time to update our containers to

For some reason the MIPs containers won't build so skip those for now.
Debian removed mipsel:

Wwith our general aim to support latest release, plus the previous
release (capped to a maximum of 2 years), we can still consider
mipsel supportable in QEMU CI by sticking with oldstable (Bullseye)
for the mipsel containers.
Once Debian 13 comes out, however, we'll be discarding Bullseye
from CI and so we'll be unable to do CI for mipsel. At the very
least this means we'll consider mipsel to be downgraded in terms
of supportability when that happens. We might then consider
explicitly dropping it as a buld target entirely, as the writing
is on the wall for 32-bit OS platforms in general...
