Update supported distributions

Update supported distributions

[Antonin Godard]

This series updates the supported distributions on each branch of the
documentation to match:

- What is listed in poky.conf in meta-poky (SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS)
- Which distros are currently EOL.
- Which distros were previously tested on the Autobuilder but are not tested
  anymore.

It used the yocto-supported-distros script in yocto-autobuilder-helper, after
the following updates:

[PATCH] ref-manual/system-requirements.rst: update supported distributions

[Antonin Godard]

Update the distributions to match the list of workers on the
Autobuilder. This list was generated with the help of
yocto-autobuilder-helper/scripts/yocto-supported-distros.

Also:

- Sort the lists alphabetically.
- Decrease spacing between entries for readability.
- Remove older Ubuntu distributions that are not tested on the
  Autobuilder anymore.
- Fill the second list with EOL distros still running on the
  Autobuilder.
- Empty the third list as it does not make sense to maitain on the
  master branch.
