- 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).

This has been around without being properly documented since 2019 (!!!),
and is nowadays the preferred method for enforcing license restrictions,
especially since meta-gplv2 is officially obsolete.

This sentence was originally written based on the comments in the .bbclass
file, but further editing led to saying the same thing twice. Remove the
duplication and also reword it to make it generally better.

It was not clear to me what a "full revision identifier" was in the
context of the note documenting SRCREV. After clarification via IRC,
this submission attempts to clarify what is meant to help future

- Add details about INIT_MANAGER
Correct the fact that "none" currently generates
an image with "sysvinit", at least on Poky.
This behaviour should probably be changed.
- Expand the "Selecting an Initialization Manager" section.
- Stop mentioning "rescue image" generation, as this
is not detailed anywhere else.

The INIT_MANAGER variable was added in 3.0 but it seems we didn't get
around to documenting it yet. I have added a variable glossary entry and
made the basic adjustment of the "Using systemd Exclusively" section in
the dev manual, however I think the latter section still needs work.

This section needs to be kept in sync with the "QA Error and Warning
Messages" section (qa-checks.rst) - this is the other direction that
tells folks what all of the values in WARN_QA / ERROR_QA are intended
to do. Add the ones that we missed adding here for previous releases,
and also use a proper reference for the buildhistory class in the entry
for version-going-backwards.
