* Since scarthgap [1], the default will be overridden when using
'systemd' as INIT_MANAGER. Reflect this in the documentation.
* The distro configuration is probably the better place for
customization, thus at least mention this together with the
local.conf.
* While at it, drop the probably redundant description on how to
override weak default variables.
The example on how to set "/root" is still given indirectly, anyway.

After introducing the DISTRO_LATEST_TAG and DISTRO_REL_LATEST_TAG
macros, use them in links that currently use DISTRO/DISTRO_REL_TAG. When
building for the tip of a branch, this will replace the current A.B.999
in links to the latest existing tag.
The links were found across the documentation by running 'grep -r
"http.*5\.2\.999"' inside the _build/html output after building the
docs.

Introduce the DISTRO_LATEST_TAG macro, which should always point to the
latest existing tag in the documentation, unlike DISTRO which may point
to A.B.999 to represent the tip of a branch.
This variable is needed to fix dead links in the documentation that
currently use the DISTRO macro.
Also, make DISTRO_REL_TAG use the DISTRO macro directly, to avoid
repetition, and add a DISTRO_REL_LATEST_TAG macro that has the same role
as DISTRO_LATEST_TAG but with "yocto-" prepended to it.
In set_versions.py, run the "git describe --abbrev=0 --tags
--match='yocto-*'" command to get the latest existing tag on the
currently checked out commit. Fallback to ourversion in case we didn't
find any.

Address some of the reviews received on the release notes and migration
guide for 5.2:
- Remove the wget fetcher addition, I misread commit 0a9f90ff658e
("tests/fetch: support setting PV in the wget fetcher") from BitBake,
and it actually affects the tests for the wget fetcher, not the
fetcher itself.
- Add a way to transition from the branch=nameX,nameY syntax. From what
I have tested, I achieve the same behavior when using one or the other
syntax.
- Remove the default value for SPDX_PACKAGE_VERSION in the release note.
- Fix a couple of typos.

Bitbake commit 0d2e682d00df ("bitbake: lib/bb: Bump minimum python
version requirement to 3.9" -- poky commit 67566c7410) means that
Ubuntu 20.04 is no longer supported out-of-the-box as detailed further
in the respective commit log.
While it is true that it can still be used with buildtools, that can
also be said for nearly every other unsupported distro out there,
including Ubuntu 18.04 that we listed as unsupported some years ago.
Hence continuing to list it as supported with the new python requirement
in place does not make sense.
So we move it alongside of the 18.04 entry, into the "possibly tested,
but you get what you get" category. And add an explicit mention of the
buildtools, so people have a thread to pull on.
