Auto merge of #22386 - cdeler:fix-mach-bootstrap-LinuxMint, r=jdm

Use the base Ubuntu distro instead of LinuxMint in './mach bootstrap'

I'm LinuxMint user.

I couldn't install all dependencies via `./mach bootstrap` due to error, described in this ticket: https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/21732

As LinuxMint is based on the stable Ubuntu, I've made a little fix for the `bootstrap` procedure.

---
- [X] `./mach build -d` does not report any errors
- [X] `./mach test-tidy` does not report any errors
- [X] These changes fix #21732 (github issue number if applicable).

<!-- Either: -->
- [ ] There are tests for these changes OR
- [X] These changes do not require tests because I haven't found the tests for `./mach bootstrap` (please correct me if I'm wrong)
