docs/about/build-platforms: Refine the distro support policy

Browse Source 
For long-term distributions that release a new version only very
seldom, we limit the support to five years after the initial release.

up to 7 or even more years in total due to our "two more years
after the next major release" rule, which is just way too much to
handle in a project like QEMU that only has limited human resources.
