Yocto Project Release Tagging Changes

Following discussions in the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded TSCs we
have begun standardizing git repository tags across the Yocto Project.
This is being implemented to ensure consistency and simplify our
automation around releases.

Going forward, the following tagging standards will be enforced:

Yocto Project Release Tags: All official Yocto Project release tags
will consistently match the yocto-v.v.v format.
Branch-Specific Tags: Tags that include the branch name (e.g.,
kirkstone-4.0.34) that duplicate the official yocto-* tags will be
removed from all repositories.
Milestone Tags: Existing milestone tags will be replaced or converted
to align with the new standard format, ensuring consistency with our
versioning scheme. For example, 6.0_M2 will be replaced with
yocto-6.0_M2.

Please adjust any local scripts or workflows that rely on the older
tag formats. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns
regarding this change.

Thank you,
