[dunfell][PATCH] ref-manual: ref-system-requirements: update supported distros

[michael.opdenacker]

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

- Update according to changes in SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS
  (meta-poky/conf/distro/poky.conf)

- No longer declare as "Supported" the distributions versions
  which are End of Life for their vendors, as some of them
  (Ubuntu for example) ship updates to subscribers only,
  which the Yocto Project has no access to.

- List distribution versions which were previously tested
  for the branch of the Yocto Project being considered.
