[PATCH 1/2] poky.yaml.in, system-requirements.rst: update system requirements

From: Michael Opdenacker <michael.opdenacker@bootlin.com>

- Update system requirements after making tests on basic Docker
containers of:
- Ubuntu 22.04
- Fedora 37
- OpenSuse Leap 15.4
- AlmaLinux 9

- Including the need to have the en_US.UTF-8 locale on the system.

- Rename the CENTOS8_HOST_PACKAGES_ESSENTIAL macro to ALMALINUX_HOST_PACKAGES_ESSENTIAL
As for the other distros, stop refering to a specific version of AlmaLinux. We mention
the supported versions in the system-requirements.rst file anyway.

- Remove the unused CENTOS7_HOST_PACKAGES_ESSENTIAL macro
