Include additional APT sources in WhisperBack reports

If we document how to add additional APT sources to Tails, see #10543 (closed), then it would be good to include these potential additions to WhisperBack reports, to make it easier to debug or reject reports from very customized Tails.

In #10543 (closed), we proposed to create a debug_directory in tails-debugging-info that would list all files in a directory, non-recursively, with a long listing (ls -l) to get metadata, and call debug_file on each of them.

It might be better to include only the additional APT sources and not the default APT sources. This could be achieved by calling debug_directory on /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/apt-sources.list.d. But this would miss people who use a different folder name, so maybe we can find something better.
