[PATCH v2] debianize: set appropriate Standards-Version for each debian suite

["srinuvasan.a via isar-users" <isar-users@googlegroups.com>]

From: srinuvasan <srinuvasan.a@siemens.com>

The Standards-Version field in debian/control declares the Debian Policy
version that the package complies with. Currently, the custom source packages
use a hard-coded Standards-Version: 3.9.6, which is obsolete and does not align
with the policies of newer Debian releases

Update the packaging to set the correct Standards-Version dynamically based on
the target Debian suite, ensuring compliance with the appropriate Debian Policy
version for each release.

+### Add STANDARDS_VERSION as a deb_debianize parameter
+
+By default, the Standards-Version field in the debian/control file is automatically
+set based on the corresponding Debian suite.
+If you need to override this default value, you can do so by defining
+the STANDARDS_VERSION variable in your recipe.
