"Distribution Support" wiki page is wildly out of date

"Distribution Support" wiki page is wildly out of date

[Robert P. J. Day]

here:

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/dev-manual/start.html#setting-up-a-native-linux-host

point 1 refers the reader to the very old:

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Distribution_Support

should that wiki page be updated, or should the link be quietly
dropped? more generally, should the official docs refer to YP wiki
pages if those wiki pages are not actively maintained?

We should drop the link to the wiki. Our system requirements is well-maintained
and up-to-date, we don't an additional link. Patch welcome.

Thanks!
