Prepare main for the next stable Yocto release "honister"

[psaavedra]

• ci: update .gitlab-ci.yml tasks to honister
• ci: Add the honister Yocto release manifest
• layer.conf: add honister and kirkstone to compatible release branches
• (kirkstone) wpebackend-fdo: Inherit missing pkgconfig
• (kirkstone) libwpe: Inherit missing pkgconfig
• (kirkstone) cog: Inherit pkgconfig
• ci: Rework the generation of the local.conf
• ci: Rework the generation of bblayers.conf
• layers: Convert to new override syntax
• ci: Remove meta-gstreamer1.0 as required for latest versions

Release Process

List of task to do during a release:

1. The Release Process starts once the new Yocto release is released
2. Create a new Pull Request from the main branch to work in the required adaptations in layer to make it work with the new stable release
3. Create new milestone using this schema: <Year&Month yocto release date>_<yocto release number>_<yocto release name>
4. In the Pull Request, add the compatibility mark is added in the conf/layer.conf
   1. We will try to keep the compatibility and the support in master/main for the latest 4 releases
   2. Other releases not matching with this criteria will be removed from the LAYERSERIES_COMPAT variable.
5. In the Pull Request, update the Yocto release name references with the new release name (this includes the CI files)
6. Once the Pull Request passes the CI tasks:
   1. Create a new branch from the main branch and named as the old-stable branch name
   2. Integrate the Pull Request in main (fast-forward-merge)
   3. Close the current milestone associated to the old-stable branch (the name should include the name of the already old-stable Yocto Release)

Do we really need to keep depending on meta-gstreamer? I think meta-oe provides a recent enough version.
