ref-manual: Update to note regarding distros supported.

Fixes [YOCTO #4927]

Updated the wording to specifically point out that YP does
not support rolling releases or developmental releases due
to their constantly changing nature.  I did not include wording
to indicate planned or unplanned type of futuristic support.
