It is not necessary to set both; just setting S to UNPACKDIR is enough.
This has already been done across oe-core master, and correct advice
should be given for those who need to adjust recipes during migration.

This makes all :doc: directives use an absolute paths (with the root
directory being documentation/ in the repo).
This is then consistent across the whole source and is easier to review
and move files around, you just need to know where a file is located
relative to documentation/ directory and use that.
This gets rid of paths looking in parent directory with '..' as well as
expecting a file to be in the same directory as the other file it points
to via the :doc: directive.

Fix as many instances of unbalanced-inline-literals-delimiters as reported
by 'make sphinx-lint' as possible. Sphinx and/or its linter seem to get
tripped up randomly when references contain links to a heading which
contain literals enclosed in double-back-tics; especially in the cases
where a heading either contains multiple literals or when the literal is
not at the end of the heading. Not all of them can be "fixed" to pass both
building and linting.

Document changes between 1c3020f173 ("expat: Upgrade 2.7.0 -> 2.7.1")
up to e894acce6e ("build-appliance-image: Update to master head
revision") in Poky:
- Add a note on the devtool upgrade-status change.
- Be more precise about the usage of multiple repositories in SRC_URI,
mention that it makes sense for bare clones only.
As the walnascar branch has now frozen and is up for QA, these should be
the one of the last changes to these documents.

Address some of the reviews received on the release notes and migration
guide for 5.2:
- Remove the wget fetcher addition, I misread commit 0a9f90ff658e
("tests/fetch: support setting PV in the wget fetcher") from BitBake,
and it actually affects the tests for the wget fetcher, not the
fetcher itself.
- Add a way to transition from the branch=nameX,nameY syntax. From what
I have tested, I achieve the same behavior when using one or the other
syntax.
- Remove the default value for SPDX_PACKAGE_VERSION in the release note.
- Fix a couple of typos.
