ref-manual: update supported distro versions

- Update according to changes in SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS
  (meta-poky/conf/distro/poky.conf)

- No longer declare as "Supported" the distributions versions
  which are End of Life for their vendors, as some of them
  (Ubuntu for example) ship updates to subscribers only,
  which the Yocto Project has no access to.

- List distribution versions which were previously tested
  for the branch of the Yocto Project being considered
  (should be an empty list on master, until the next
  release is made).

publishing them no longer make updates publicly available:

- OpenSUSE Leap 15.3
- OpenSUSE Leap 15.4
Note that the Yocto Project doesn't have access to private updates
that some of these versions may have. Therefore, our testing has
limited value if you have access to such updates.
Finally, here are the distribution versions which were previously
tested on former revisions of "&DISTRO_NAME;", but no longer are:
