[PATCH 1/2] set_versions.py: skip laverne branch for closest branch

[Antonin Godard]

The laverne branch was created but never branched off, which breaks the
algorithm trying to determine the closest branch as it always gets count
0. Skip this branch as it is old and we'll never branch off of it now.

This fixes the following issue:

Branch laverne has count 0
Nearest release branch estimated to be laverne
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/data/yoctoproject/ws/repos/yocto-docs/documentation/./set_versions.py", line 167, in <module>
    bitbakeversion = bitbake_mapping[ourseries]
                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'laverne'

[PATCH 2/2] set_versions.py: fix get_latest_tag and milestone tags

[Antonin Godard]

Milestone tags have a different format, e.g. 6.0_M1. This was breaking
this algorithm with:

  File ".../yocto-docs/documentation/./set_versions.py", line 277, in get_latest_tag
    branch_versions = sorted(
        [v.replace("yocto-" + release_series[branch] + ".", "")
         .replace("yocto-" + release_series[branch], "0") for v in branch_versions],
        key=int)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '0_M1'

Why run the command if we're gonna skip the loop regardless of the 
result of the command? Just do the continue before the subprocess.run?

Cheers,
Quentin

An oversight, I'll move it above, thanks
