It is not actually needed outside of the autobuilder and since the
package got renamed in Ubuntu 20.04 and later to pylint, it was giving
the users an incorrect command line to run and would fail all the time,
better remove it instead of trying to handle Debian/recent Ubuntu
differences in the documentation.
Moreover, the other supported host distributions didn't have pylint
listed as a dependency, proving that it's indeed not needed.

Allow conf.py to read the versions it needs from poky.yaml and have
set_versions.py write this out. This means we don't have to change as
many files when making new releases.

Use a script to generate the branch/tag information inside poky.yaml.
If the branch isn't a known release branch, include git magic to find
the closest matching release branch we know about.
