We now check that the websockets module version is at least 9.1 in
bitbake itself so we can specify more precisely what "recent version"
means.

While at it, list which distributions have a recent enough websockets
python module in their package feed and give some hint at how to support
other distributions.

This is done according to the pending patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/bitbake-devel/20240502183516.1216885-1-JPEWhacker@gmail.com/T/#u

Still wondering if we should add this to poky.yaml.in as a "hard"
dependency? If we do, how do we plan to handle distros which do not have
(a recent enough) websockets python module?
