Minimum Git, tar, Python and gcc versions are specified in quite a few
different places. Let's add some variables for these so there's no
chance of missing one if they're updated in future. Additionally, for
hardknott the minimum Python version is 3.6 so set that as the value for
Python.

Anchor links are treated by Sphinx as external links and are not checked
during build, meaning it is impossible to know if a link becomes broken or
not.
As a matter of fact, most of the anchor links replaced in this commit
were actually broken.
The README now states that anchor links are forbidden so that there's no
need to go through such a change later on.

In the "Yocto Project Quick Build" instructions
(https://docs.yoctoproject.org/brief-yoctoprojectqs/index.html#)
there is an inconsistency that impacts several documents...
People are first instructed to clone the poky git repository, but not
mentioning from which directory. Then, it's consistent to instruct
people to run "cd poky/".
However, later in the instructions, readers are instructed to run "cd
~/poky", which assumes that cloning poky was done from the home
directory. Many other places in the documentation make such an assumption.
This change fixes this, and makes no assumption on where people
have chosen to store their data, in particular where they cloned
the "poky" repository.
This also fixes a few whitespace issues.

New contributors to the project will usually be following the steps to
submit patches directly via email as they may not have commit access to
a contrib repository. For shorter series of patches this is the more
common workflow which we see anyway.
The documentation here is updated to reflect this, addressing the email
submission process first and then the pull request process. The new
opening paragraph for the section on submitting pull requests is taken
from the "How to submit a patch to OpenEmbedded" page on the OE wiki.

Missing DEPENDS were an issue before rocko (2.4) because of a shared global
sysroot. Since then, every recipe has its own sysroot, it is not possible
to build successfully a recipe without all DEPENDS. Therefore, races in
tasks possibly triggered by missing DEPENDS are a thing of the past.
This paragraph is misleading and can be safely removed.
