lnr is a script in oe-core that creates relative symlinks, with the same
behaviour as `ln --relative --symlink`. It was added back in 2014[1] as
not all of the supported host distributions at the time shipped
coreutils 8.16, the first release with --relative.
However the oldest coreutils release in the supported distributions is
now 8.22 in CentOS 7, so lnr can be deprecated and users switched to ln.

There is uncertainty about the default branch name in git going forward.
To try and cover the different possible outcomes, add branch names to all
git:// and gitsm:// SRC_URI entries.
This update was made with the script added to contrib in this patch which
aims to help others convert other layers.
