dev-manual-common-tasks: Fix refs to testing branches

Browse Source 
After discussions on IRC with Ross we concluded that the `ross/mut`
branch shouldn't really be listed in the docs as it's more of a personal
test branch. Instead we should list the -next branches for
openembedded-core and poky.

(From yocto-docs rev: a6bb1f7b677ea0b540735497fbbbda64ce3653ce)

Two commonly used testing repositories exist for OpenEmbedded-Core: Maintainers commonly use ``-next`` branches to test submissions prior to
merging patches. Thus, you can get an idea of the status of a patch based on
whether the patch has been merged into one of these branches. The commonly
used testing branches for OpenEmbedded-Core are as follows:
- *"ross/mut" branch:* The "mut" (master-under-test) tree exists in the - *openembedded-core "master-next" branch:* This branch is part of the
``poky-contrib`` repository in the :oe_git:`openembedded-core </openembedded-core/>` repository and contains
:yocto_git:`Yocto Project source repositories <>`. proposed changes to the core metadata.
- *"master-next" branch:* This branch is part of the main "poky" - *poky "master-next" branch:* This branch is part of the
repository in the Yocto Project source repositories. :yocto_git:`poky </cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/>` repository and combines proposed
changes to bitbake, the core metadata and the poky distro.
Maintainers use these branches to test submissions prior to merging Similarly, stable branches maintained by the project may have corresponding
patches. Thus, you can get an idea of the status of a patch based on ``-next`` branches which collect proposed changes. For example,
whether the patch has been merged into one of these branches. ``&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;-next`` and ``&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP_MINUS_ONE;-next``
branches in both the "openembdedded-core" and "poky" repositories.
Other layers may have similar testing branches but there is no formal
requirement or standard for these so please check the documentation for the
layers you are contributing to.
